TOWA TM-1 Thread Tension Gauge

Digital measuring device for measuring the lower thread tension on embroidery machines.

The correct thread tensions of the lower thread is an important setting to achieve a harmonious embroidery pattern.

 

Features and advantages of the TOWA TM-1 thread tension meter

  1. A device to measure and adjust the lower thread tension
  2. Easy to read analog display
  3. One measuring unit: mN (milli Newton) - scale from 10mN to 400mN
  4. Built-in thread cutter
  5. Ready for immediate use: no batteries or special settings are required.

 

Why is it important to adjust the thread tension correctly?

The correct thread tensions of the lower threads is an important parameter to achieve a perfect embroidery pattern.

Signs that the lower or bobbin thread tension is not correct:

  1. Visibly loose bobbin thread on the underside of the embroidery
  2. The bobbin thread is pulled upwards and is visible in the design
  3. Poor embroidery quality
