Recommended tension for the Singer Featherweight is 23 grams, tension on other older bobbin cases usually average 18-25 grams.
How is it used? Place the threaded bobbin within the bobbin case and attach the thread tail to the clip on the meter. To measure the tension, gently pull the bobbin case until the thread starts to unwind. Then make adjustments to the bobbin case tension screw as needed.
As many of you know, we are located just north of the border in Canada. For many years we have personally transported product across the border to offer a seamless shipping experience for our valued US based customers. But due to the suspension of section 321 on Aug 29 (the de minimis exemption allowed parcels under $800 to be imported into the USA duty free with minimal paperwork), we are no longer able to transport our parcels through the US border.
All US bound shipments will now be sent via Canada Post Tracked Packet USA. Delivery time is estimated to be 8 to 9 business days. All required tariffs and duties will now be calculated and prepaid at checkout.
