(4) It is not necessary to remove the stud from the machine arm (as seen here) to disassemble the thread tension - but it does help to show it for the purpose of illustration. However, check that the stud is set with the slot horizontal so that the pointer for the stitch setting can be at the top of the machine. You can see that the 201 has two differentiating features compared with the other models :A: The addition of a thread guardplate with a tail at the top which locates into a hole in the machine
Now I have to find out how to do that. I feel so much better
