Using the Gauge
1. Clean and thread the bobbin case as you normally would.
2. Pull the thread through the tension spring, but do not pull the thread through the pigtail.
3. Insert the threaded bobbin case into the tension gauge with the extended portion of the latch falling
into the guide as shown in red.
4. Route the thread through the two pulleys and the take-up as shown in red.
5. Pull the thread gently and smoothly in the direction of the arrow at a rate of approximately an inch
per second. Doing this will cause the second pulley to move down and with it, the gauge indicator.
Watch as you pull for where the indicator is when the bobbin is starting to turn.
The ideal setting for bobbin tension for embroidery is between 150 and 190.
