Can someone please provide a bobbin tension target range with a Towa gauge?

[@APQSQuilting]

Hi there - thanks for reaching out. Your bobbin case tension should be between 190 and 220 mN. We have a blog post by APQS retailer Julia Graves that goes in-depth on how she uses the TOWA gauge. You can read the blog post here: bit.ly/3S4sAkS
