I'M told my loose stich on bottom of fabric is because of loose tention on top and to adjust upper tention, there in lies the problem, I don't know where to begin.

Hello,you only need your upper tension to be tighter.
kindly visit the link below for a comprehensive instruction on how to adjust your upper tension....

Any way when you have a fsl design brought up you should see your design in the box, hoops across the top and then down farther youshould see all kinds of symbols, click on the one that has scissors andwhat looks like two different types of stitches. That will take you toa different screen and ou will see a place to adjust tension and density,if the thread of the bobbin is visible,then you press plus to increase it and minus to reduce it.so all you need is just to increase it so as not to make you have a loose stitch on bottom of fabric.
wish you good luck,
TAKE CARE.
Hmm Im not sure what kinda loose it is ..if the loops are loose ..it is a matter of the upper tension ..but if the continuous string its loose ..its a matter of the tension of below..anyway ..
Im not sure how to adjust in this model ..but for sure it is in the manual cause it is a simple operation ..so if it has a menu ..search for tension of teh string adjust ..and increase the value after case...a little at the time ...
or if the machine has a reset button use it and it should get to the values from the manufacturer
in both case the change of the tension it is sure explained in the manual ...I searched for one..and I didnt find it ..in the moment I will find it ...I will post more details..
meanwhile please explain the way the stitch is loose....
the actual manufacturer will be a help too ..(I mean the country of provenience )
I sow there a name for the model and I am under the impression that it is a european model..
by the way ..if it is a loose under wire..this is ajust for more tension from the screw on the side of the under bobbin ...just turn it a little to the right for to be more tension ...this will do in case the above is too tensioned and the other way around if the loops appear under...
the other way to make them even is to tension the above string if the loops under appears ...and to loose tension for the above string if is the other way around.. this is usually done from the screw ..if it do not has a numbered wheel....
Hello Louis. Yes, this is the problem. The trick to adjusting tension is to make wee adjustments and then do a test run. Doing it this way you do not need numbers. Here's what you do: thread your machine (pressure foot UP) with different color threads on top and in the bobbin. Use a size 12 or 14 needle and a scrap of woven cotton or cotton blend to sew on. Sew an inch or two, then check the stitch, and adjust the upper tension by turning the dial toward the higher numbers. Be sure to have the pressure foot UP when you thread the machine (so the thread can slip between the disks easily) but DOWN when you adjust the tension settings. Sew, look, adjust. Repeat until you can only see a tiny bit or better yet, none) of the bobbin thread on the top and only a tiny bit or none of the top thread on the bottom.
Once the tension is good, you shouldn't need to change the bobbin tension again. But when you use different needle or thread sizes, you may need to adjust again.
Two other things to keep your machine stitching great are to keep the lint brushed out of the bobbin area and oil your machine on a regular basis (unless yours is self-oiling--check your manual to see). Use good quality thread and a new needle for each project.
