I use a Towa gauge and go by that for setting bobbin tension. I use BottomLine both top and bottom, mix with other threads (I rarely have one color in bobbin and 2nd on top)--what ever I want for a particular quilt. One thing I have run into is I need to adjust the tension on my stand alone bobbin winder when winding BottomLine or Marathon threads comparable thread,otherwise it's too tight on the bobbin--I'm popped a bobbin out of round due to that.
