    Thank you so much! Now need to find the manual or how to thread it. I think I'm really close but the top thread underneath isn't tight.....

    Actually there is a Belle Aire - it is a red machine. This MANUAL is the manual you need for that machine: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...al-rotated.pdf
    Muv has a video for a Singer 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2tiiZ51J7g
    The clones should thread the needle right to left - some of the Singer 15s thread left to right but they are the same beast and the same manual. It is unlikely that you will find a specific manual for a clone.

    The machine for that manual has the tension in the front, so it might not work.

    That manual works for clones with front tensions - sorta.

    Mark,

    You are correct. Not sure why I didn't catch that.

    Miriam,

    Most class 15 (clones) machines thread from left to right. The Singer 19-88 thru -91 right to left.

    Miriam,

    Yup, the 15-30 threads left to right. Seems we giggled over this same thing in the past. GGG
