Best thing is to get a free one you don't care about and tinker with it. See if you can take the tension off and put it back on right. Take apart the bobbin area etc. Get some manuals - I've posted a ton of info - you can go in my profile and look at posts I started to find lots of info.
I left the camera in the car when we were hauling cabinets around. I should have gotten before and after pics. Totally slipped my mind once I got in there and started playing. That Japanese machine is pretty fascinating - I wish I knew more about them. The Alden is made in Japan - I like it.
