Moving your bobbin tension is not scary if you take a picture or make a note of the screws position before starting. You can turn the screw back for regular sewing later if you know where it was orininally.
So when you adjust the bobbin after you've tightened the top tension you are loosening the bobbin tension right? And thanks for the tip on taking a pic to remember how to put it back. I think this just might work.
