- Typically, sewing machine tension is adjusted only at the top by the sewist, but if you are working on a longarm or an industrial machine, you will want a TOWA gauge to check and adjust your bobbin tension, too! Join me as I share the ins and outs of what a TOWA bobbin case tension gauge is, as well as when and how to use it.

Great video!!! I have been having an awful time with my long arm stitches. It was suggested I get one of these gauges. I ordered & got it today. Your video was such help! My tension was past 300! No wonder I have had issues. Thank you!! Thank you!!
Great video! Thanks for the details. 👍
Super helpful. Thank you!
What!!! I didn't know such a thing existed! I will definitely be getting one. Where do I find one? I needed this so badly a couple of months ago. I have the J150 also and usually don't have tension troubles. However, I did have lots of trouble on a memory quilt that never got resolved. I ended up settling for seeing the dot to dot look that was happening because at least it was consistent, so maybe to a non quilter it might appear intentional. (I had black thread in the bobbin and white thread on top to match the fabrics on each side. I was chicken and didn't want my stitching to be especially noticeable in case I did a poor job.
My choice seemed to be the dot to dots on the front or eyelashes on the bottom. There was no in-between to be had that day.
Is this a size M bobbin?
Would this work for a heavy duty highlead gc0388? The bobbin keeps popping out when I am trying the dropping method and it’s so hard to gauge if it’s right because of the fact. I have been struggling for five hours now. 😩
Does this work on all bobbin sizes?
Thanks
Thanks❤️
Lol, now I know that mN is a millinewton. Now to figure out how to convert that to grams 🤔
