trying to get the tension on under side of material to loose

ann, January 2010

Hello Ann,
Make sure the pressure foot is up when you thread the machine, top tension about 4 or 5 you should be able to pull the bobbin thread through with slight resistence, if you need to slacken the bobbin thread turn the screw on the bobbin case a quarter of a turn at a time anti clockwise and test sew.
