clover_enge Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have tried using Magna Glide Bobbins and just can't get it right (the tension). I tried today with Glide on the top. Bobbin thread kept showing on the top. I adjusted and adjusted and it continued. How do you put them in the bobbin? What kind of tension works? Do you leave the spring in the bobbin case? Any tips would be appreciated. Nancy E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Remove bobbin spring; place bobbin in case with magnetic core on bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qltnbe Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Beachside Quilter is right. I find that I almost never have to adjust the tension on these bobbins. I keep a bobbin case without the spring in it just for these bobbins and don't use it for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenanne Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I keep one bobbin case just for Magna glides and use mostly Glide thread on top. Remove spring, black magnet down when open case facing you and the thread will come off clockwise. I also had to tighten the tension screw on this bobbin case about a 1/4 turn more than regular bobs. Hope that helps! Just keep fiddling until you get the thread where you want it in the 'sandwich' and then keep that case aside. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
