i can't see your thread. Here is a generic manual. http://www.dontai.com/wp/images/imperial-535-manual.pdf
That machine should have the thread run from the spool through the thread guides, down around the tension catching the spring, up through the take up lever and back down through thread guides to the needle. The needle should be put in with the flat side toward the machine and the needle threads from left to right. Pretty simple.

Mellisa,

A suggestion about pictures.

Close the curtains behind the machine, the background light is affecting your cameras light sensor.
Or, turn on the flash so it lights up the foreground.

Those pics are just too dark to be of any use.

As for the threading, Miriam is right.

Very nice machine, I can not see your thread.

Is that the thread hanging down off of the right of the tension dial?

I see that, too and it doesn't work for sewing but it is very hard to see any other threading.
