I have just pulled out my old sewing machine and cant work out how to thread it. The manual says you need to pass the thread through the 'rear thread guide' but there isnt one!!

Hello Mel,
If I remember, cotton reel on the spool pin, take the thread to the left and over thge guide above the takeup lever, straight down the right hand side of the tension unit, round the tension unit making sure the presser foot is up, back up the left hand side to the takeup lever, through the takeup lever right to left, follow the guides all the way down to the needle.
