I inherited this machine but it came with nothing but one bobbin. Didn't get any instructions on how to thread it. Can't see where to put the thread spool. Anybody have this one or seen it--any info at all??

What's the name on it? Model #? etc. Lotsn51 is the resident expert on vintage machines but he'll need some more info than what you've posted.
It's a beauty, love the color.
The silver plate on the left of the presser foot should slide to the left. That's where the bobbin will go.

Don't know anything about the machine except my DH will be sooo jealous when he sees the pic. He loves this type of machine. Hope you can find the info you need.
By the way, what make is it? I can't seem to make out the whole name on the pic. It looks like _____craft.

I can tell you that I found the same machine on the Italian Ebay as a finished auction. Says made in Japan. Has 2 pins up from back for thread. See it here, you have to scroll down.
