Default Bucket list - Wheeler Wilson No. 8

Well, I knocked another one off my bucket list with this stupendous find - an early Wheeler & Wilson No. 8 handcrank. One glass foot, one needle, one bobbin so all components are there.

I am struggling to get it to stitch. The upper thread breaks after an inch, and the tension for both seems to be too tight. I can see the bobbin thread on top, and the top thread shows underneath. Vexations.
