4.7.2 Setting hook thread tension
Proper setting
The hook thread tension must be set so that the resulting seam
p
attern looks like the figure in ( p. 27).
At the recommended hook threa
d tension of e.g. 25 g (measured
with a full bobbin), 12.5 g should be generated by the braking
sp
ring and 12.5 g by the tensioning spring.
The basic setting for the tensioning spring
is performed as follows:
When the bobbin case contains a full bobbin it must sink slowly
u
nder its own weight.

The braking spring prevents the bobbin running on when the
thread has been cut.
