Other methods are very vague. This gives an empirical value to ensure the bobbin tension is always what’s expected. No more guessing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prevents tension issues. *by on Reviewed in the United States 31 August 2021* This device will help cure your tension issues with your longarm. Once you find out your tension guage for your thread, (I love - and so does my longarm, Superior threads like Omni, work best at tension guage 170 to 200. ) once I adjust my bobbin tension with this guage it is then a simple adjustment for your top thread. Your bobbin tension is your foundation and once I get that right, for the most part it stays right. I personally like Omni on the top spool and So Fine for my bobbin thread. Both threads like a guage of 170 to 200. Once they are set I get a perfect top and bottom stitch. Yeah! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Praktisches Tool spart Zeit und Nerven *by on Reviewed in Germany 1 June 2025* Ein einfaches, praktisches Tool, wenn man mit dem Thema Embrodery beginnt und gleichbleibende Ergebnisse erzielen möchte. Gerade am Anfang, ohne das richtige Gefühl für die Fadenspannung, schließt es eine potenzielle Fehlerquelle aus. Das Gerät hat ein angenehmes Eigengewicht und wirkt keineswegs nach billigem Plastik. Zwar ist es nicht besonders günstig, aber es spart Zeit und Nerven. ## Frequently Bought Together - CKPSMS Brand -New Bobbin CASE Tension Gauge for L Style - Original Factory TOWA #TM-1 (L-Style Bobbin Case Tension Gauge) - New brothread Black Cut Away Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing 12"x 25Yd (30cmx23M) roll - Medium Weight 70gm (2.5oz) - 3 Options - Tear Away/Cut Away/No Show Mesh - ckpsms Brand - 1PCS Thread Tension Gauge #KP-19243 Compatible with/Replacement for TAJIMA Brand SWF Brand Ricoma Brand Commercial Embroidery Machines --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/308486201-ckpsms-brand-new-bobbin-case-tension-gauge-for-l-style](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/308486201-ckpsms-brand-new-bobbin-case-tension-gauge-for-l-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
