Quilterguy, that's not a tension issue, that's your stitch length...try moving the lever on the front of the machine to the lowest position. All the way up is going to be reverse...

My question is regarding the tension. I've tried it in several different positions and from the back everything looks fine, but from the front it doesn't look like stitches. It just looks like a piece of string. No distinction in the stitches. Due to bad eyesight I have a CCTV. I put the fabric on it and checked it out and there is no distinguishable difference between a setting of 1 1/2 and 7 on the upper thread tension. Do I need to take it apart and clean/adjust it? Thanks. Again, I will post pics soon.
