There is a lot of info online now....and a lot of manuals available. There may even be someone nearby to show you! There are some yahoo groups, too.
I was able to download a facsimile copy of the manual for my 1906 Singer, which showed me how to load the bobbin, which is like yours, as well as threading it, and oiling it. If yours is a Singer I can give you the link to the site with the manuals; possibly there are instructions for other machines there too, I don't remember.Rhettsgreygal said:I have two treadle machines but I don't know how fill the bobbins with thread. Since I haven't looked at them in a while, I am not sure I know how to load them into the machine. They are torpedo shaped. I did it once by accident when I bought the first one about 20 years ago. Then Roy's grandmother showed me how sometime after that and I forgot
So how come I can vividly remember being a flower girl 43 years ago, but I can't remember what happened 15 years ago? I must be getting old.

Thanks, I'll have to look at them. I haven't opened them up in more than three years so I can't even remember what they are. I will get back to you.ORChick said:I was able to download a facsimile copy of the manual for my 1906 Singer, which showed me how to load the bobbin, which is like yours, as well as threading it, and oiling it.
