Default Working machine

I have a 1969 brother project 651 J-A-28 sewing machine that someone gave me. The machine is in excellent condition but it didn't come with a manual and I have no idea how to work the machine. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you.

You say you have no idea how to work the machine!? Do you mean you are new to sewing or you just want to know how to thread the machine?

Maybe try http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_diagram.htm or http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...ion_Manual.htm I'm not sure about this one either

Pictures sized 640x480 would help

I don't know much about the machine itself and its my first time working with a machine I normally do my sewing by hand.

Your best bet would be to buy the manual since you are new to a sewing machine. It's actually a very easy machine to operate. The manual is the most important tool to have.

Thank you for the links. I found the manual and I am going to purchase it so I can become familiar with the machine. Thanks again.
