Clearly, I can't read the threading instructions I found for threading my Morse! It says to go from right to left around the tension discs but shows left to right. Then up and down ?!?!? After lots of attempts, it sews but the tension is so off the top thread breaks even set at 0. GRRFFFF!!

Does the http://www.tfsr.org/ manual that place has help any for making the tension work? I love that manual.
