Never thread a sewing machine with the presser foot down as the thread is not accepted through the tension disk at the top of the machine. Also change your needle! A sewing machine needle should be replaced every 10 sewing hours. Check your manual for the way a needle is inserted, some face left, some face right and most have the flat side of the needle at the rear.... it's not hard! sewing should be fun, not stressful. Happy sewing.

I have an old Kenmore and here are the directions from my manual: 1. Draw thread from spool through bobbin winder tension discs. 2. Wind thread around an empty bobbin several times. 3. Place bobbin onto bobbin winder shaft with thread coming from rear of bobbin. Push bobbin winder latch against bobbin until it clicks. 4. Release clutch by turning clutch knob toward you. Start machine.

What do you mean you are unable to pull the bobbin thread through, elaboration would help solve the problem...
I suspect I'm having the same problem with you if it's anything to do with the top thread looping around in the bobbin holder.
Damn machine!

I had the same problem with my Shark Euro Pro 7133. My problem was in threading the upper thread. The manual does not quite explain so I had to figure this out the hard way.
In threading the upper thread . the thread first goes down from the spool througt a groove. When it comes up it must catch a silver lever that moves up and down before moving it down againPlease let me know whether this helps.

you really must get a manual for this machine.
You can find manuals online for a small price.
At one time some sites had them for free, but I haven't been able to
find many recently. sewusa.com has some older ones for free. but not
many. you could try the kenmore site as well, if not I'd try to search on
dogpile.com (sewing machine manuals)
Just so you know, your manual is the MOST important tool for any sewing machine, and its worth a couple of bucks to get it.
