I inherited this machine but it came with nothing but one bobbin. Didn't get any instructions on how to thread it. Can't see where to put the thread spool. Anybody have this one or seen it--any info at all??

What's the name on it? Model #? etc. Lotsn51 is the resident expert on vintage machines but he'll need some more info than what you've posted.
It's a beauty, love the color.

The silver plate on the left of the presser foot should slide to the left. That's where the bobbin will go.

I know where the bobbin goes :lol: . I just don't see where to put the spool of thread so I can thread the dang machine! I was intending on asking Billy--just taking more pics cause there's a button/screw on the back that I can't figure out what it is for. The only identification on the machine is the name -- Bellecraft. Looked that up -- nadda! It sews really quietly and it would be nice to be able to thread it, "put the bobbin in" and sew with it...

Don't know anything about the machine except my DH will be sooo jealous when he sees the pic. He loves this type of machine. Hope you can find the info you need.

By the way, what make is it? I can't seem to make out the whole name on the pic. It looks like _____craft.

I can tell you that I found the same machine on the Italian Ebay as a finished auction. Says made in Japan. Has 2 pins up from back for thread. See it here, you have to scroll down.

Thank you Nursie! I had the piece and now know what that mysterious screw was on the back of the machine! You and this board are the bomb! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
