Hi Lydia - ooh an exciting challenge to figure out! I don't know if this is the correct model and the quality of this video isn't great but might be helpful?

Good Morning,

Thank you for responding to my question. I had seen this youtube video, unfortunately it was not my model.  Thank you kindly for your help and website.

Oh that's a shame - there's another thread a couple of posts back "Any vintage sewing machine aficionados out there?" - you could try asking there as there's a few sewists in there who might have some tips

Can you share photos of your thread guides and tension control? I do a bit of explorative tinkering with vintage and antique machines, so while I am not familiar with your specific unit, I might be able to supply some feedback.
