I have a 1951 15-91. I had the needle in backwards and was threading it wrong. The flat side of the needle goes toward the left side and the needle threads from right to left, like the featherweight. Those are the only 2 machines I have that thread that way, but they won't sew a stitch unless they are situated just so!
