There are solid arrows printed on the machine which the thread should follow for these steps.
If you wear reading glasses, put them on now.
Pull the thread left through the hook (set in a groove) at the top of the machine, then pull towards yourself.
Pull the thread down the front face of the machine, then through the groove and back up. This looks like a small flap on the front of the machine.
There is a hook in the groove to the left of the tab. If you can't see the hook, use the wheel on the right to spin the needle, thus bringing the hook up. Loop the thread through this hook.
Finally, bring the thread back down and thread it through the needle. You may need to cut the thread again with sharp scissors, or lick the end slightly to hold down any loose fibers making it hard to thread the needle.
Once the needle is threaded, hold the end of the thread tightly and spin the wheel on the right of the thread to bring the needle into the machine and back up. This will loop around the bobbin thread and pull it up with the needle.
Once the needle is clear, continue to hold the end of the thread and slide something under the needle and pull until the bobbin thread is up. You should now have two threads trailing off the back of the machine from the needle.
