One more tip on using the Towa gauge. I don't know what brand of thread you use. I use Glide exclusively and was told to aim for 220 - 230 on the Towa because this thread is slicker than a cotton thread.
Thank you again. What a coincidence! I use Glide exclusively as well. It worked great in my old longarm and is amazing in my embroidery machine. I have never used a TOWA gauge - I've done really well with YouTube Jamie Wallen's instructions on thread tension. It's just so hard to wait! But it will get here and won't that just be something!!
