The thread tensioning spring holds the needle thread under tension from
the top dead center of the thread lever up to the point when the needle eye
plunges into the sewing material.
Proper setting
Initial position: The thread tensioning spring does not contact the stop
until the needle eye has plunged into the sewing material.
Important
The setting for the thread tensioning spring must be varied according to
the sewing material and the required sewing result.
