the needle thread around the hook. The required tension depends on

• thin sewing material
• low thread strengths
Greater thread tension for
• thick sewing material
• high thread strengths
Proper setting
The loop of the needle thread slides at low tension over the thickest point
of the hook, without forming loops or snagging.
