Consew 226 Bobbin Tension Problems

[kayrunp]

I am having the hardest time with my stitch on the consew 226. The top thread is almost a straight line. The big screw holding the arm in the bobbin area is tighten all the way down. I noticed it could be slid forward or backwards but would interrupt the movement too much in one way. I have read about a spring. is that the spring arm? I don't see a spring anywhere. That might be my problem. Maybe I am tightening the wrong screw? I also noticed the whole thing seems a little loose, the part you but the bobbin case into, don't know where to tighten that up and if it's suppose to be tight. Any resources or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

I think I found the tension screw holding the thin metal spring, but the left screw closes to me won't turn. I can't get it to move, and I fear I will destroy it with too much force. I think I need to loosen it out so I can get some tension on the bottom thread. Does that whole piece come out so i can try and get the screw to turn?

Thanks,
