Gary's Tip
Having the correct bobbin tension is probably the most important requirement to achieve a wellbalanced stitch. Machines of almost every brand allow the user to adjust the tension with a screw in the bobbin case. Different brands of bobbin thread can result in different tensions so it’s important to check and adjust as necessary. This tension gauge makes it easy to measure your bobbin tension and set it to the ideal range of 30- 40 grams.
Remember when adjusting your bobbin tension screw to only ever turn 1/4 turn at a time. Turn the screw right (clockwise) to tighten or increase the tension and left (anti-clockwise) to loosen the tension.
Remember to turn right to tighten and turb left to loosen.
Measure the tension after adjusting and if necessary repeat the process until between 30 & 40 grams of tension is achieved. Use these stitched letter “F” images as a guide for what would be an acceptable result.

Towa DigitalTension Gauge
By: John on 23 February 2021Up until this purchase I have been using a spiring weighing gauge that I purchased at a seminar at St Mary's College long time ago when it was demonstrated. The Town is a much refined gauge to be using to check the bobbin tension. a big improvement. I hadn't used a gauge for some time but neither of my two machines needed any adjustment but its good to have the technology available if needed. Easy to follow instruction and video makes it a pleasure to use..
