This is a tough one to explain. First, it´s called a bobbin..normally most machines have a pic in the manual..but basically, you put your thread in the normal place, then run the thread over to the left, where there is a kind of hook thingie.. then you wrap the end of the thread around the bobbin once and out thru one of the holes in the side.
Next, place the bobbin on the post which is located on the top right side of the machine, and then move small switch on the left side of the post over to the right so that the bobbin is locked in.
If you were looking at the machine from up above, the thread would run from the right to the left and then diagonally back to the right but to the top front of the machine.
Now comes the tricky part, cuz so many machines are different.
if you wheel on the right has a smaller wheel inside, you need to turn the outer while holding the inner one in place..this will disengage the needle mechanism so that it does not go up and down while you are loading on the thread. Once disengaged, you use the foot pedal to get things moving.. If your machine is newer, and does not have a inner and outer wheel on the right side of the machine, it could be that just locking the bobbin in place with the little switch is enough..
I can see it all in my head, but it is a tough one to give instructions on. Good luck.. if all else fails, call an older woman who sews to help you.

To thread a bobbin on most machines you stick it on a little post near the top of the machine. The thread goes from the spool to the bobbin where it is pulled on by some means that make the bobbin spin.
The filled bobbin is then inserted under the sewing surface. On my machine the bobbin fits into a little steel case. The thread feeds out of the case and around and through a little slot. The case fits in the base of the machine.
The needle feeds down and picks up the bobbins thread.
Find the Owners Manual if you can. It may be available on line.
Guys sew too.
