I don't know about threading. My 2 Berninas have been pretty straight forward about how to thread them. The needle threads front to back. The 1/4 inch foot is #37 on mine. There is also a 1/4" foot with the guide. I can't remember the number. I don't use that one.

I saw a whole set of the old type feet on ebay for a bernina. It was a bargain at the price.
The thread path is across the back from the spool, forward over/through the metal guide, then forward through the tension disks, back up and over the arm (have the arm up so you can see it), down the left side, there is a little metal eyelet at the bottom of the needle holder shaft that is open on the side, catch it in that, then on the left side of the needle shank there is one more little hook/guide to catch it into and then into your needle from the front to back. Done!

If it's a new 730, a lot of Bernina dealers offer guide classes that you can pay to take. Their guide classes are well worth it.
