Depends on the make and model of the machine, I suggest you look for the manufacturer's website, you might find instructions there

It varies a little machine to machine. On a bit older machines the thread is placed on the spool holder then put through a device on top above the tension area (on the top of the machine on the left side), from there it will go down through the tension then up and into a hook-like-looking thing, down to the plate area and there may be a small ring-like holder that the thread goes through before threaded through the needle. Newer machines don't seem to have the thread holder near the needle. E-mail me if you have more detailed questions about it, I'll be glad to help you out if I can. I have been sewing for alot of years and have used alot of different machines and now I am teaching a sewing 4-H project.

If it's an older Singer, pop open the swinging door to the left of the thread uptake and there will be a diagram of how to thread through the tensions plates and all. If it's not a Singer, try the manufacturer's website or EBay for copies of manuals. If that's not possible, usually the clerks at your local sewing machine store are more than happy to walk you through it (just be sure to buy something, like a spool of thread or bobbins from them!) Once you have used a few machines, you can thread them blindfolded (except for the needle!) I have never met a machine I couldn't thread....

don't fool around with the bobbin tension. I have sewn for over 20 years and have never had to fool around with the bobbin tension- you just can make matters worst. put it back to "normal" as stated in the manual. take the bobbin and bobbin case out. make sure no thread or dust is in there. rewind bobbin thread as normal. Make sure your pressure foot it up when you thread the machine. make sure you are putting the bobbin in correctly. Hold the top thread, while turning the hand wheel pull up the bobbin thread, pull both threads behind the needle. Now put in your fabric, lower the pressure foot and hold both thread "tails" for the first few stitches.

it really depends on the machine.
