Thanks Janey - appreciate the clarification.
I did watch a number of YouTube videos on threading 15-90/91s and some folks were doing it my way and others used the spring/thread/tug method. Like you mentioned, the end result was the same, haha. I think I was just hung up on the exact verbiage of the manual which didn't seem to make sense at the time.... thanks again for all the assistance!

Okay, I finally found an
earlier post I did about threading through the tension discs and so on. It doesn't help that the two manuals use different terms for the same thing.
15-90 or 15-91.
"Hold the spool tightly (with the right hand) and pull the thread against the take-up spring 4 until it enters the retaining fork 3"
W1514 "
into the check spring. then tug the thread to bring it past the hook (notch) "D"
If you hold the spool, so no more thread unwinds, then you have taut thread. After going into the discs from behind and down then bring thread to the front up into the "
spring,." you can pull (tug) the
thread and spring until it
enters (past) the
retaining fork (hook). The shape of the retaining fork/hook are such that the thread goes into it and out to the spring. The results are the same thread path as shown and described in my previous post.
Have fun.
