sewing on cotton pants, the thread tension on top is fine but the underside has loops. where should the dial button on the front of the machine be set.
I have not adjusted anything else. it is now on 0 what number should it be on?

I have the same problem, top thread tension is fine, but the underside has loops. I've played with the top tension and the bottom tension, nothing has worked. At this point I fear I'm going to need a new machine.

I took my machine in for repair and was told that this machine isn't worth the money to have it corrected. HELP! there isn't anything else wrong except the lower stitch has loops sometime. how do I get the bobbin tension right?
