Setting the tension …
Setting the tension on a new bobbin is OK if all you are going to use is new bobbins. But in the real world, especially in commercial sewing such is not the case. Setting the tension on the bobbins you are going to actually be using is much more useful. Also you can run much less bobbin tension and make the upper tension adjustment and stitch formation easier. Less can be much, much better. The general thought now is that lower tension is usually too high.

What was not …
What was not mentioned was the fact that many bobbin cases will be unable to hold the bobbin whilst this technique is performed. The best way to test tension is by marking the original tension screw position and making small adjustments then test sewing.
