Using a dedicated bobbin case for tension measurement preserves the calibration of the production bobbin case and ensures tension readings are taken in controlled, repeatable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy use a separate bobbin case for tension measurement?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eUsing the same bobbin case for production and tension measurement introduces wear variability. A dedicated measurement case maintains known, stable characteristics for consistent Towa readings. The production case tension can then be set relative to the calibrated measurement readings.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this the same as the standard production M-size bobbin case?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eIt is the same M-size format but designated specifically for tension measurement use with the Towa TM-3. It is kept clean and well-maintained for reliable measurement readings.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat tension reading is standard on a longarm?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eStandard longarm M-size bobbin tension typically reads approximately 180–220 on the Towa TM-3. Specific recommendations vary by machine, thread, and batting combination — consult your machine manufacturer for specific guidance.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes the Towa TM-3 come with this bobbin case?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe Towa TM-3 and bobbin case may be sold separately or together.
