Google for a free manual. Do you mean you don't understand how to wind a bobbin? That's in the manual. Lots of threads here on 401's if you use the Advanced Search feature.

Pop open the left side of the machine. It has a diagram of how to thread it.

kim,

Do a search for J Miller and 401, I have a couple threads here with pics on that most wonderful machine.
