I do believe Superior's website has the recommended settings for their threads. You can probably compare weight and type and use similar settings.
Here it is

So Glide would be comparable to their magnifico.

one of the things that really helped me when I got the towa gauge, I discovered that the five original bobbins that came with my machine did not spin freely. When put in the gauge, it would go between 200-300 as I pulled. All my later purchased bobbins (purchased from HQ also) were fine. I really liked those early bobbins as they were a bit heavier duty, so I used them all the time - no wonder tension was such a mystery for me!
Now I have them with my serger, to use as mini spools as needed.

I just bought one too and the guide from Superior Threads is ok but we found that the thread I was using needed a size 14 needle and I use size 16. So it’s kinda like testing time. I think I’m going to write down my own chart for the various threads.
