bobbin thread tension?

How can I find information on adjusting the bobbin casing tension? I have had my singer model 4562 T for 11 years and I am afraid that it may need some slight adjusting.

Most tension adjustments can be accomplished by using the top tensioner. That being said, if you want to try to adjust the bobbin tension there should be a small screw on the bobbin case. [On a 221 the tiny screw is on the outside of the bobbin case. On my 110 year old 127 model, the tiny screw is also on the bobbin case.] That is where I would look first. If you can't do it yourelf, try to locate a manual for your machine. It will surely tell you how to adjust the bobbin tension.
