To test that bobbin tension is correct,hold the bobbin case in the palm of your hand with theopen end facing up. Wrap the thread around your indexfinger and while pulling up on the thread and gentlywiggling the finger front to back (not up and downwhich is not consistent), the bobbin case should lift upon its side, but NOT lift out of your hand. If it will notlift up onto its side, it is too loose and if it lifts out ofyour hand, it is too tight. The small screw in the centerof the tension spring is where the adjustment is made(see Figure 21). Turn clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen the bobbin case tension. Check yourbobbin tension every time a new bobbin is inserted.Note: Bobbin tension adjustment is a minute turn of thescrew like the ticking of a clock.Bobbin and Thread Tension Adjustments...cnt’d
