Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the magnetic core actually fix?
- Spring drift — standard bobbin tension changes as the bobbin empties, so stitch quality at 10% remaining differs from 100% full. The magnetic core holds tension constant across the whole bobbin, which is why production studios standardized on Magna-Glide.
- Why pre-wound over self-wound?
- Industrial winding tension is more consistent than any hand wind — and the winding time saved across a studio week is real labor.
- When is Linen the right bobbin neutral?
- Warm backings — natural muslin, unbleached cottons, tan and cream fabrics — where white bobbin thread would read cool if it ever pulled through.
- Linen or Cream in the bobbin?
- Linen runs slightly more golden-tan; Cream is softer classic ivory. Match to the backing's warmth — most traditional studios stock both.
- Any tension adjustment on switch-over?
- Usually minimal — run a test strip per new jar before client work, then it's set-and-forget.
