Turning the screw too much or providing force in either (rotational) direction may cause damage to the bobbin case. Should damage occur, the bobbin case may not maintain proper tension. 1 Right side 2 Wrong side ■ Bobbin thread is too loose Bobbin thread appears slightly on the right side of fabric. 1 Right side 2 Wrong side Embroidering E-27
