Sewing & Fashion Design : How to Thread a Sewing Machine

Threading a sewing machine depends on the model of the machine, but generally a spool of thread is loaded onto a spindle, the thread is wound through the machine, hooked in place and threaded through the needle, the bobbin is placed in the bobbin casing and the bobbin thread is pulled through the top. Thread a sewing machine, paying attention to the placement of the needle and the direction of the bobbin thread, with a demonstration from an independent fashion designer in this free video on sewing.
