A Sailrite tutorial demonstrator wound thread around the bobbin tensioner twice in a video. I've been doing that since for added resistance.
In the same video, he positioned his thumb on thread as he pulled it though the upper tension. It loaded the thread through the tensioner, check spring and little teat guide on the tensioner in one sweep. Solved my seating of the thread in the tensioners. Little tricks come in handy. I should start a thread asking for little tricks.
