Also, you will probably need to adjust the pressure regulator. To release the pressure you want to press on the outside. Once the inside pops up you will want to push it down a bit. This information is on page 14 of the pdf.
It also looks like you took the upper tension assembly off. I hope it was on properly to begin with and you took pictures and laid them out in the way you took it apart and off. Many of these are a tad different from one another. Also there should be a check spring which goes on in a specific way to work correctly.

We took pictures of everything and video, to make sure everything that was taken off, went back on the same way. The manual I have is 15 pages only. If the center button on the stitch length is reverse, something is incorrect because you can't push on the button it appears solid. We are going to put it back together and then see where we are still having troubles.
