New to the group and new to sewing
Hello,
I am completely new to sewing. I have a 2 year old daughter and initially was interested in sewing because I want to make my own cloth diapers/trainers for her. I've been dying to get my hands on a sewing machine and my mother in law lent me a Brother machine (1990s) that I haven't successfully gotten to work so I kind of gave up on the idea. My mother recently gave me a vintage Precision SewMagic machine (1950s I think) that belonged to my great grandmother. It completely reignited the idea of learning to sew for me and I now am determined to learn. I would love to make homemade items for my daughter and learn to quilt.
The machine works, but I don't even know how to thread it properly. Can anyone help me get started?
Thanks!

Hi Happi and welcome from California. You might be able to find a manual, etc. for the machine at this website.
