BSR tension issue
Am brand new to the BSR. As I quilt the tension is "off" with the bobbin thread showing on top. Still a bit nervous about making changes (880). I went to tension and increased and decreased, but no change. Then set it right back to factory settings. I would know what to do if I was sewing rather than using the BSR for the first time. Would appreciate any info on this issue. Thank you.

When you said that you increased and decreased, but no change ....
..... Did you change it slightly? or to an extreme?
Don't be afraid to adjust it a huge amount, either direction, to get it right.
Sometimes I find it's a big adjustment to get the tension right.
I often use different threads (colour and/or type of thread) in the top/bottom,
so getting the tension right is really important as any pokeys would really show.
