Onto the shaft, put on the two dished tensioner disks so that they meet near the shaft to form a pulley. Load the spring on the metal sleeve and load the spring/sleeve combination onto the shaft with the wide end of the spring pressing into the the outside disk. Turn the knob onto the threaded end of the shaft and tighten.

Threading. Pass the thread OVER the tensioner and BETWEEN the two tensioner disks. DO NOT WRAP the thread around the tensioner. If the stitch is not tight enough, turn the knob clock-wise to put more tension on the thread. If the stitch is too tight or breaks, turn the tensioner knob counter clock-wise for less tension. 4 The Needle Guide. Pass the thread sideways from the tensioner through the metal guide.

After feeding the thread through the threader and the eye of the needle, she should turn the rotary once, so that the thread goes underneath the machine's fastening plate.

September 28, 2017 0 found this helpful There are many users of this little machine that have threw their hands in the air - and then thrown the machine away but maybe you will be able to understand some of the instructions presented here. This is not a user friendly machine but others have asked this question and some answers from previous ThriftyFun questions will help. I would strongly suggest you take the machine to your local craft stores - Michael's, Jo Ann's or any other that is in your area. Just Google craft stores with your zip and several should come up. These stores usually sell these machines and many times a clerk in that department or somewhere in the store will know how to do this.
