I have sewn on many different brands of machines, and the basic rule is to put your bobbin on the bobbin threader ( usually on top and just close by the wheel on the right side), place your thread spool on the holder, you usually only have to loosen the right side wheel by winding the wheel towards you - it may be by pushing it in just a bit, you will see some or two tiny holes in the bobbin, go from the inside of the bobbin so that the thread comes up thru the top of bobbin, now you are ready to press down on the pedal, and hold on to that piece of thread till it start going around the bobbin a few times. Every machine I have used stops when bobbin is full!! Now cut the bobbin thread off, turn your wheel back to sew. Holding the bobbin holder in your left hand, and the bobbin full of thread in your right, as the bobbin is facing you, make sure the thread is positioned to make the thread come towards you by the top, pull some out - about 4-5 inches for starters, then with the bobbin still in your right hand, put it inside your bobbin holder, there is usually a small little lever to put the bobbin in, then when you have your thread pulled out, take the bobbin holder & bobbin carefully and put the bobbin side in, and move it around a bit till you hear a click, there is usually a small metal tip that will only fit in your machine only one way, so hopefully yours does, once it does, then you thread your machine!! I always have a piece of material handy to test to make sure it is on the stitch and size that I want. Once you get the hang of it you'll do just fine!! If you get on a roll, fill up bobbins for your other threads!! Please, do not buy the cheap 2 for $1.00 thread, you will only be sorry, snags, broken threads!! Just as an example coats & clarks can be bought at wal-mart. It seems like it takes a lot, but it doesn't, I just try to write in detail as much as I can!! I hope I helped, and happy sewing!!!
