Ahhh, thank you all so much. I have the same picture from the manual, but I was having problems seeing where L was on the manual picture. I think I see it now. I'll have to try it out and see how it goes.

Awesome, thank you all so much. I got it all threaded and tried it out...perfect tension. The only thing I need to do now is clean the uptake arm really well. My white thread was turning brown. Eww.

Your thread will eventually turn back to white. Just keep sewing......

You men are wonderful (at least, I hope you are all men) to help Alaskahsm out. And, BTW, it is great to see you back and watching us so closely, J Miller. I am one of the ladies who missed you real bad a few weeks ago, but seeing you back most every day answering questions makes my cruising the board interesting every morning.

I like to tinker with old sewing machines and get them sewing again.

Round Rock, Texas--of all places. DH and I once lived in Round Rock, but I can't remember the name of the subdivision any more--sometime during the 80s--he was stationed at Bergstrom when he retired and went to work for the State Comptroller. Sweet memory moment here.

I would REALLY appreciate it.

There is a YouTube video that shows how to thread one just type in(threading a white rotary sewing machine) it should be of help
