I have posted this up on Needlebar, but so far no luck on finding a manual. If anyone has a manual for a machine like it or at least a threading diagram I would appreciate it.
I am able to get it to sew (see above) well, but when it goes through thicker material the thread "hops" right off of the first gizmo that the thread goes through after it leaves the spool, So I want to make sure i am threading it correctly.
Thanks

Steve,
Send me a clear 3/4 view picture taken from the left. I will draw in the thread path for you. Almost all threading goes 1) tension to takeup to needle in that order with various thread guides thrown in here and there.

The issue is how it goes over/around the small disk and wire bit right at the top of the head.
This picture is before I threaded it up...

I will take a clear shot when I get home.
