Towa Gauge Tips For Bobbin Tension in Free Motion Quilting

[@sharleensanders7997]

Thanks so much for this info. Best video I have seen for understanding how to use the Towa, when it comes in mail it has no instructions on how it works.

I hope it helps - it did me and I use it every bobbin change just to make sure I am in the right ball park
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching

Me too! I was worried mine was also broken!

Thanks for sharing. I've had the Towa gauge for awhile but haven't used as I wasn't sure how to use it.

[@thequiltjournal391]

Hope it helps!
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your Towa!

so, this may be a silly question but,,,, your tension checklist mentioned putting a drop of oil on the "race"??? what is a race, or where? :-/

I have the towa gage but when I pull on the thread to get a reading , the red needle keeps jumping up and down, I can’t get a good reading. Would you know off hand what I’m doing wrong?

[@sharleensanders7997]

I did notice that when you are using magna glide it has nothing in bobbin..do you use Bobbin jeanie at any time...thanks again for all the info you provide

[@thequiltjournal391]

Yes, I do use Bobbin Jeanies most of the time

Where do you get your metal m bobbins from?

[@msyt232]

Does this work for plastic cases?

hi i just looked towa guage on amazon, the have many sizes, how do i know which one i need?

[@thequiltjournal391]

Sorry, I just saw your comment. You need to order the TOWA gauge according to the type of bobbin you have. Usually an "L" or a "M"
