If I'm not mistaken, flat side belongs on the left on a FW. Threads right to left.

I had to look it up, but EC is correct. Flat side on left, thread it right to left. I find it much easier to thread with my right hand, so it irritates me when a machine threads left to right. Front to back is best, because then I can see the eye better.
