    Default Which one is not 50wt?
    Can you pick the 1 that is not 50wt thread? All are sewn with the same pre-wound Bobby Cot bobbin thread.

    The one on the right looks thinner, but I keep forgetting about threads, higher number, thinner? Lower number thicker?

    I vote for the furthest right one because it looks different from the two left ones. However, I think the one furthest right is a better balanced stitch.

    Weight doesn't tell the whole story. How many ply in each thread?

    I'm going to guess the one on the far left as it looks a little heavier to me. I'm guessing the center is a 3 ply 50wt, and the far right is a 2 ply 50wt.

    I'm also guessing you need to reduce your upper tension
