You noticed exactly what I did! To resolve the tension problem on my Morse, word by word direction following with constant referring to pics was required. Miriam also posted a pic that helped tremendously. The machine wound up needing bobbin case and upper tension finessing!
This thread has helped me learn a ton. My Morse 300 B-L is SO quiet and consistent. Without the help of everyone here, I would have written it off as a lesson learned. <3
