We just got it today, and i'm clueless as to how exactly it gets threaded up. Hopefully one of you can provide some help :)

well.. i tried looking online to see how many threads and what the machine looks like -
1st - does the blueish door at the bottom open up? - i am guessing that the loopers are in there -
2nd - often there is a threading diagram inside the door where the loopers are, so that may help you
3rd - do you have a trusted repair shop nearby? - i would LOVE to say that i learned how to thread my serger on my own, but i didn't - i tied on my thread for awhile - then i had a thread break - then i panicked and just went to the repair shop and the guy there showed me how the thread the machine - (Watching someone else thread the machine is the best way to learn)
do you have threading tweezers for the loopers - if not, you may want to get a pair- it will come in REALLY REALLY handy ;)
(hint, take a sharpie with you to the shop, and label near the cones 1,2,3,4 for the order in which to thread the machine - its really important to thread in a specific order)
you thread usually the loopers then the needles - i think the most complicated part will be figuring out which tension knob matches with which thread -
be prepared for it to take you a LOONNNG time to thread the machine (for now) and even when you get good at it for it to take like 5 minutes (seriously)
good luck! (sorry i can't be more help)
ooh - and use good thread - it holds the tension better and is less likely to break (so less rethreading)

Probably best to buy an instruction manual : looks like you can get one here. http://www.sew4less.com/sitemap_products.php?BrandID=13&ModelID=3337
