I always thread the needle through the groove side first.

I am by no means an expert, and I am probably wrong about this, but, going by your description, if the flat of the needle is to the right, shouldn't the needle be threaded left to right?
Tilladare, you are absolutely right! I didn't pay attention to the way Kathie was threading! I just remembered my problems when I started to treadle!
Kathie, I am sorry! You may not have the same problems learning to treadle that I had!
