Ok, so i have most of the thread hooked up. The spool of thread that goes under the needles (sorry, i don't know much terminology), where does the thread go to? Like, how does it go in the needle?

The little spool is called the bobbin. After properly loading and installing the bobbin, simply manually cycle the needle with it's thread through one stroke. This will pull the end of the bobbin's thread up. Now, you are ready to sew. This thread does not go through the eye of the needle, but rather, during the sewing process, it loops the stitches on the bottom side of your work.

Its the thread from the spool on top that eventually ends up going through the eye of the needle. After being threaded correctly through the tensioner. The bottom is called a bobbin and that thread also goes through a bit of tension when threaded correctly through the bobbin case, then pulled out a couple of inches and left alone. When the needle is threaded (from the top) and you turn the handwheel (by hand) the needle will go down and the hook on the bottom will go round until catching the loop made on the upstroke. This will pull the bottom thread up and out, at which point you pull the top and bottom thread a few inches out and start. Good luck. I am putting a good place for you to look online here at various threading diagrams for differant machines.
