I have attached a picture of the tension assembly like the one on the Domestic and it appears there should be a hole somewhere on the flat metal piece. Any hints or directions would be greatly appreciated :)

Judy it is confusing, but there really is no 'hole' it is more like a thread groove or slot to get your thread between the tension plates on top. Your thread goes from the spool pin to the slot which places the thread in the tension assembly (that flat metal thing on top).
From the tension assembly (it is called the tension spring and cap) the thread goes through a hole (actual hole) called the eyelet spring on the top of the head.
Does this help?
