Oooh, New Toy!!

You’ll have to excuse me, I’m just a little bit distracted. You see I found this great new (read old) toy in the storage room at my mom’s house.

Don’t you just love the old manual?

I’m trying to make this project for my friend who recently hurt her neck, but I’m having issues with my bobbin. I’ve read a bunch of great tutorials but somehow when loading my bobbin the thread fails to magically bring itself up to the top of the machine. If you don’t sew then I might as well be speaking gibberish, but if you do and you somehow know what I’m doing wrong then please fill me in.
