In the mean time to get the thread into the tubes the easiest way is to use a can of air with the small tube that usually come with it. Put the thread into the tube, lift the associated thread feed roller on the front of the machine and then blow air into the tube until it shoots out the feeder. Then you run the thread down thru the top metal loop, past the black take up arm and into the back hole of the numbered bar. Bring the thread up around the round bar under the that numbered plate thru the front hole. Then thread it thru the black take up arm, and back down the other side, left facing the machine, thru the corresponding hole, strait down through the hole on the bottom numbered plate into the needle. Once you get the thread thru the needle with some length on it make sure you put the feeder roller back down. If you do not have canned air, in your kit there should be some white nylon strings. These have a notch at the end. You secure the end of the thread in the notch and then manually push it into the tube and out the thread feeder. Then you thread the machine as stated above. I am working in my shop today so call me if you need additional help.
