    Default Hi All! Newbie looking for some assisance

    Hey everyone, I just made an account here today and am super excited putting my machine to proper use-except I'm entirely new to this and can't seem to get the machine to stitch.

    Thats picture of the machine, I've figured out how to wind the bobbins and load the bobbin into the shuttle. I'm not 100% on how to thread the machine and as a result (I think) the machine wont stitch at all

    Anyways, any insight would be greatly appreciated as I lost and I can upload pictures if needed

    Hi,

    You can make out the thread path from this picture and order a manual if needed:

    Hopefully you have a supply of needles on hand or one to measure as it appears to be a non standard size according to ismacs needle list. Good luck with your project.
