Now, a stupid question.... what do you mean by the bobbin case? I have a drop in bobbin- there is a bobbin housing but for the life of my I can't see how it could affect the tension.
Some sewing machines, like the Bernina, have a bobbin case that pulls out when you load the bobbin. With the drop in bobbin, the case usually stays in the machine, but can be removed to clean out lint. There is a very tiny screw in the front near a slot where the thread goes. That tiny screw is the one that gets loosened or tightened slightly.
