OK, the bottom tension is tighter than the top tension.
Have you threaded the machine according to the instructions?
When the top thread comes off the spool it should go through some sort of tensioner prior to going though the arm that goes up and down.
This should be adjustable. If you put the thread through this tensionior and then pull on it lightly you should feel resistance.
Is this happening?
ON your machine the tensioning discs are inside where you bring the thread down through a slot. Just to the left of this slot should be a tensioning adjuster. If you play with this adjuster you should be able to feel the tension on the thread change. Is this happening?
