Turn the chain/cover needle thread tension dial to a higher number. Or
turn the chain looper tension dial away from the wide dash at the words

the chain looper thread on the under side of the stitch.

For a looser tension turn the chain / cover needle thread tension dial to
a lower number. Make sure that the chain looper tension dial is set at
the solid dash at the words "Cover Stitch".
