■ Correcting bobbin work tension

* If the top thread shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, increase the upper tension (Refer to
"ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION" on
page S-114).
* If the top thread still shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, reduce the tension of the bobbin thread or
bypass the bobbin tension. (Refer to "ADJUSTING
THE THREAD TENSION" on page S-114.)
* Some bobbin threads are too coarse to pass through
to wrong side of fabric. In this case, be sure to color
match top thread with bobbin threads.
