Need some help with this machine until I get the Manual? right now I'm not sure which way the needle goes in etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

The easy way to remember is the "D" of the needle goes in the same way as the "D" of the needleplate. And yes, it threads from right to left. :)

Have fun!

Thank You all who answered so quickly. I have found a manual and printed it off. My better half brought home a 1948 Feather Weight for me yesterday and all the parts are there just not in the right places. They wouldn't guarantee that it would stitch. Well, it is now stitching and purring right along. Thank you again for your help.
