how do you thread a sewing machine?

Question

I've got one of those old-type ones it's a jones one, (a good make I think), but I have no idea how to thread it.... the bloody cotton keeps snapping, and really pissing me off, Please somebody help me I want to fix the hole in me pocket, before it's all gone, my money that is!!!

Answer 1

You will need the instructions, however there is a tension set that may help

Answer 2

If the cotton keeps snapping, 1. because the tension is far to tight.turn it a little until the cotton is going through easier, 2 , the needle may be had it, change the needle, 3. check that the bobbin is in correctly..........also make sure that the bobbin is filled correctly,usually with the same cotton, i which i could tell you how to thread it, but need to see the machine, its hard to describe threading as all machines are so different, the rule i use is that if the top sewing is wrong, then its the bobbin and if the underneath sewing is wrong, then its the top threading. I sure hope that this will help, cheers good luck and god bless

Answer 3

Apply a thin film of glue to the end of the thread and let it sit for a while, it becomes stiff and it is easy to thread it. I usually do it from the outside in. Just see if the tension of the thread is okay. Usually this is what makes the thread snap. Good luck

Answer 4

If you have the name and model number type it into your browser and search for a Manuel! If it is just a hole in a pocket thread a Manuel needle and sew it by hand!!

Answer 5

Here are the basics. Adapt as required to match you machine, better instructions with a manual can be found if you know the model and number.
