Welcome. I am kind of nerdy when it comes to sewing machines. I have a Pfaff 1471 that I read the manual (someone let me borrow it)
multiple times before I was able to get a couple year old machine. I'm more familiar with more vintage machines that have a dial to adjust the top tension. So I found a manual for the Creative 2140 at
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/50...tive-2140.html I had to really hunt for the how to adjust the top tension. I looked at the index and then tried to find the page in the pdf to find that there are several places that mention the thread tension. Apparently, it is in the lower right of the screen.
After looking at the threading diagram, it seems rather counter intuitive (at least for me) to me. I'm used to bringing the thread down on the right side and then up the left to reach the take up lever. It appears the 2140 comes down the left and back up the right side to the take up lever.
