I've never changed my bobbin tension for FMQ. Couldn't use a different bobbin case in my machine anyways because it is a drop in bobbin. :lol:
You can still remove the bobbin case on a drop in bobbin. Remove the throat plate and it pulls right out, the tension screw is in the very front. If you have not done that in the past, there may be a lot of debris under the case that needs to be cleaned out.
