Google sewing manual or scroll down throught the other postings and you will find some info. I ordered one awhile back and it was quite helpful. ask around to see who has a sewing machine and they might help you do the threading and show you how to do the bobbin.. It is hard to tell you how this way. It really isn't hard.

Start with something simple. it really is easy once you get going..Just have fun...

Since you haven't used machines before, let me explain that with some sewing machines the bobbin goes in with the thread pulling the opposite way you would think. If the needle is threaded or put in the wrong way the machine will break the thread or just clog up.

If the bobbin is in the wrong way, it the same thing. Can you find a sewing friend that can help?

Don't forget to oil the machine. At least under the bobbin.

Can I also add if you have a sewing friend, get them over to help with any problems you might have. They might not have your machine but they may have something similar....you don't have to have the EXACT model or even make sometimes. Check out the local library - books with sewing machines in them - not the how to's to make an article. There are some excellent "do it yourself" sewing machine repair books out there. It is worth looking into. I do also reccommend getting yourself a manual...so very important in the long run. Well worth the money you spend. Budster.
