This post has been a long time coming! I started with one about threading the upper, but then everything went a little crazy, and I've had a hard time keeping up!
To begin, locate the little door at the base of the machine, and slide it open.
Next, through the door there is a little circular cartridge containing the thread bobbin.
Remove it from the machine.
If the cartridge already contains a full bobbin, make sure that the thread is going clockwise, then insert it back into the cartridge, slide the end of the thread into the slit counter clockwise until it reaches the opening, but is still held by a small folded thumb of metal.
Insert the cartridge back into the machine, keeping the end of the thread free.
Pull the thread out about 4 inches from the base and slide shut the door.
Hold both the upper thread and the lower thread securely(but gently, allow a little give) several inches behind the foot.
meanwhile, spin the wheel slowly clockwise until the lower thread gets caught by the upper.
Release the thread and slowly pull the upper thread until the lower is visible coming from under the foot.
Pull the lower thread all the way up from under the foot, then bring it to the back of the machine, along with the upper thread.
There you go!
I love my old machine, though it can be difficult at times to figure it out.
Happy sewing!
