The only silly question is the unasked question. You asked about something that is very important to you and you want to learn. I'm not sure, but maybe the bobbin thread has been wound too loosely or the tension is not tight enough. My Pfaff has the automatic threader and at first, I couldn't get it to work. Then I noticed there is a tiny hook on it that the thread has to go behind. Once the thread is hooked there you just let the lever go and it threads the needle. My machine might be different from yours. I think mine is an older model I purchased in 1997. I hope someone here can give you the information you need and then you can have fun sewing.
