The check spring travel limiter and position may help tune the snap out of the thread coming around the bobbin. The spring has to keep the top thread taut until the needle pierces the top of the material. How much longer it stays taut is up for experimentation. If your check spring mechanism has a little screw inside a curved slot, try moving the discs one way then the other. There will be a position that gives a little more slack in the top thread that should ease the tension going around the hook.

Thanks guys. Appreciate all these little gems of information. This is the stuff the books don't tell you.
