First make sure that the needle is at the highest position (with the needle up button or the hand wheel) and lift the presser foot. Turn off the sewing machine. For the upper thread, place the spool on the spool pin and secure it with the spool cap. Leave the cap a bit loose (1/16" from the spool). Bring the thread to the left. While holding the thread in one hand, use a finger on your other hand to press the thread into the thread guide. Bring the thread forward and straight down the express thread path. Feed the thread into the needle thread guide. Pass the thread through the needle eye from front to back.
For the bobbin thread, make sure that the bobbin rotates counter-clockwise. Hold the bobbin down as you pull the thread into and through the guides from near the front of the bobbin area to the left side. For most threads, cut the thread on the thread cutter after feeding the thread into that area.
Singer has the manual for the White 2235 on their support site:

I hope this helps.
