Adjusting Tension On Bobbin And Top Threads

I am trying to do free quilting. My machine came with a quilt attatchment I attended a workshop and neither I or the teacher could get the bottom thread correct. Is there a tension knob for the bobbin thread? this also happens when i use the machine for alterations.

Adjusting the upper thread tension We recommend a setting between 6 and 8 for the upper thread tension. If utility stitches are being used, refer to "Setting the Thread Tension" in chapter 2 of the machine's Operation Manual. If embroidery patterns are being used, refer to "Adjusting Thread Tension" in chapter 5 of the machine's Operation Manual. `32; Adjusting the tension of the bobbin thread If the desired stitching cannot be achieved after adjusting the upper thread tension, adjust the tension of the bobbin thread. The tension of the bobbin thread can be adjusted by turning the slotted-head (–) screw on the bobbin case (gray) for bobbin work. More information on page 18 of the manual
