Solved my issues *by P***R on April 16, 2021* This is a definite must have. I bought a Tajima Sai and was having all sorts of thread breaks with a particular brand of thread. Once I used the gauge to measure the tension I noticed that tension was much to high on this brand which I've concluded is dues to the thickness of the thread (not a true 40wt). Replaced my threads and used the recommended settings and viola, everything works like a charm. It really does help you isolate problems with the bobbin and thread tension settings. A must have for anyone in embroidery. Product is well built. Was shipped in a timely manner and just works. ## Frequently Bought Together - Towa Digital Bobbin Case Tension Gauge, Compare to Towa TM-1 and TM-3 (Standard L-Style Insert) - Towa Digital Bobbin Case Tension Gauge, Compare to Towa TM-1 and TM-3 (Body Only) - Towa Digital Bobbin Case Tension Gauge, Compare to Towa TM-1 and TM-3 (Large M-Style Insert) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/185544988-towa-digital-bobbin-case-tension-gauge-compare-to-towa-tm](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/185544988-towa-digital-bobbin-case-tension-gauge-compare-to-towa-tm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
