About This

• 1PCS Thread Tension Gauge
• This Pencil style tension gauge for setting proper top thread tensions.
• The top thread pencil style tension gauge has a hook on one side with a slide guide that is used to set top thread tension on commercial embroidery machines. The slide needle works with a spring to indicate if you need to tighten or loosen top thread tension.
• How to use:To check your top thread tension, have your embroidery thread correctly threaded through your machine’s running path including through the needle and presser foot. Wrap the end of the embroidery thread around the hook end on the gauge so that it catches without slipping. Slowly and steadily pull the gauge back toward yourself. Note the common number seen on the gauge’s needle.
• Top thread tensions may vary up or down by as much as 5 to 10 gf.Rayon #40: 150gf,Polyneon #40: 170gf,Metallic #40-50: 170gf,Polyester CR #40: 125gf,Burmilana #12: 190gf
