Shuttle New Home 1882
This is my first time winding bobbin and threading shuttle. I have watched several videos but none are like my shuttle. Any advice is appreciated.[ATTACH=CONFIG]531420[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]531421[/ATTACH]

Hi,
Manual from Smithsonian for early New Home:
http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect...0873/index.htm
Unfortunatly no shuttle threading diagram.
I always check the shuttle to make sure thread strips easily off the bobbin and shuttle tension good. Once in a while I get bobbins not wound well and they knot up in places every so often.

I don't know really anything about this machine, but if it is the actual shuttle that goes with your machine, I'm wondering if you have tried to turn the bobbin over so that the thread is 'facing' the other direction. After reading the instructions that Jon referred to, it kind of sounds like the thread should be coming up from the bottom near the slit that Steve pointed out - not over the top before going into the slit.
