How to thread the machine

A friend asked if I could show how I threaded my machines, so here you are, hopefully a couple of ideas to help:

The sewing machine:

Yes, it IS old, but it works. the reason why the thread is going through all these loops is, that it is important, that is not too loose or too tight. Every machine is different, but follow the thread from the backside and through the metaldiscs, that tighten the thread, and remember all the other hooks. Also remember the little hook above the needle. (remember, the needle has to be placed as far up as possible with the flat side turning away from you, there's also a narrow slot from the eye of the needle and up on the front, to make room for the thread while sewing) Put the thread through the eye from the front and place the end under the pressser foot.

the thread from underneath is always taken off the bobbin from the top and to the right. As it is placed on the photo you can put it directly into the bobbin case and then the thread is pulled through the little spring placed outside the case. the case is now ready to place in the machine, remember it has to click before yous can start .

You pull up the thread from under the board by dragging the wheel (the  one that makes the needle move, placed on the right side) TOWARDS YOURSELF, so the needle is moving down, and up again. Now you pull the end of the thread that comes from the needle and the thread from underneath should appear as a loop. Drag it up until you have two ends and place them underneath the presser foot and away from you. Ready to sew.
