i hope this works for you , kinda practice till you find the right number
The only way I know to check to bobbin tension is to take it out and hold it by the string. If it drops immediatly it is too loose but if when you give it a slight shake it doesn't move then it is too tight. Do you know of another way to test the bobbin tension?
