You are not too clear on what the problem is. Nor have you told us what kind of machine you have. What exactly is the problem?
You say the bottom is just a straight line of thread.
It is just a straight line of thread. That is what it is. Nothing changes that. If you increase the top tension, it pulls the bottom (bobbin) thread up slightly toward the top fabric. At that point, it doesn't look like a straight line of thread, but that is all it is.
What are you trying to do that doesn't work? Are you saying you want to increase the tension on the top thread and it doesn't work?
If it's time to take the machine in for service, you need to have a problem. What is the problem?
Someone posted to one of the best threads on tension, which brought it up again. When I mentioned that there were great threads about tension,
this is the one I thought about. I suggest you read it. If you don't find a solution to whatever problem you have, take the machine to the shop.
