Hello Nora,
Bobbin in your left hand thread leading off from the bottom about four inches or so, pop the bobbin in, put the thread through the slot and take it to the left through the spring and then pull it to the back, you can still get manuals for that machine, one of the best machines ever made, try www.sewingonline.co.uk/instructions or I can give you a complete list of sites for manuals if you e-mail me.
