Perhaps you were pulling the needle thread at the wrong angle? It's
awkward, in a side-threading machine, to pull the thread to the right
with your left hand while turning the handwheel with your right.
(Perhaps that's why all the new machines have front-threading needles?
More likely it's because tandem twin needles can't make pintucks. In
a front-threader, twin needles work side by side.)
