New to sewing machines and am using a techsew 2750.  Having a bear of a time dialing it in.  Anyhow as you can see in the photos the stitch looks nice on top ( red ) but the bottom (white) looks like the top tension is not tight enough but it is so tight it is hard to pull the material out of the machine.  I have adjusted the bobbin tension like as seen in YouTube videos so I don't think that is to blame.  I threaded it following the Techsew video ( that slightly differs from the manual ).  I am currently using a diamond point needle size #19 and MBT thread size #5.  The other issue you can see is the backstitch look like crap and isn't going back into the same holes.  When I backstitch, I come to a stop, engage the backstitch lever and run the foot pedal.  I don't keep the machine running and slam down the lever like someone who has been doing this for years.  
 
	Thanks in advance for your time.
