Threading The Machine; The Bobbin Thread - Singer Fashion Mate 237 Instructions Manual

Threading the machine

Like all sewing machine that produce what is called a "lockstitch," your sewing
machine sews with two threads. The upper thread comes from the spool and is
threaded through the eye of the needle. The lower thread comes from the bobbin,
which is simply a small spool that you wind yourself, using the machine. On the
Fashion Mate machine it is best to wind the bobbin before threading the needle.
