How Do I Fix The Tension For Zigzag On The Hobby 303?

I bought a Hobby 303 used. I cleaned up up, oiled it. Downloaded the manual because treading it was different then my other machines. I got the straight stitch working without any issue. It's when I use the zigzag it gets all knotted in the bobbin case. I wanted it to do (clothsline) baskets. I didn't want to mess up my expensive machines. What am I doing wrong?Cathy
