Members Silverd Posted March 22, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 22, 2020 Wow I'm not alone as some would suggest. Great stuff this tension setting quest. I'm a beliver in science being a mechanical engineer and all. We have a tendency to put stock in measuring over trial and error methods of which there are a plenty of everyday as it is. Sure I can get to a ballanced stitch without anything but a screwdriver, but if there is a tool that can reduce set up time at any point in the process, count me in. Silverd Thank you BTW for the links on this topic. Just now, Silverd said: Silverd Quote
Members Bert51 Posted March 22, 2020 Members Report Posted March 22, 2020 I have several bigger sewing machine and one of them being a Singer 132K6. I have two bobbin cases for it, one for 20M and the other for 40M (at the moment), as it can be a pain to change thread sizes with out mucking around. Being able to swap them over quickly means my tension is already in the ballpark of where I need it to be. Bert. Quote
Members Silverd Posted March 22, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 22, 2020 Sounds like a tension gauge might help. The cost of these devices is low therefore risk is low should you not find suitable application. I'd be interested in hearing how it works out should you decide to proceed. Silverd Quote

Yes, I agree with you, but it may be because I am an engineer too. Perhaps it just work for some of us. I did start this other thread about the subject in July: And made this little video about it: https://youtu.be/PAUJ1cVJEmA Edited March 24, 2020 by Gymnast Quote Sewing Machines in Detail, YouTube channel
