Hello, everyone.
This is my first message. My sister has a Singer 9020 machine. I
can't figure out how to thread it correctly - the upper thread is OK,
but how the bobbin works I can't tell. I keep trying, but I can't get
the thread to slide in anywhere (dumb description - sorry!) so that it
can go up through the throat plate.
I'm used to a Bernina, where the bobbin fits into a case which is then
simply placed into the machine and I'm ready to sew. But the Singer
doesn't have this feature - you drop the bobbin in but what do I do
with the thread... surely it winds around something inside the machine.
We can't find a manual (the machine is some years old), and I'm hoping
that someone in this group has one (or a similar machine) and can guide
me (like I need to guide that pesky thread!). Her daughter is waiting
for her new summer dress! Thanks in advance,

I don't see a "9020" here:
http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diagrams/Threading_Pages/Singer_Sewing_Machine_Threading/singer_7028_9022_9420_9432_threading.htm
but there is a 9022, maybe they are similar enough to help?
You can download a manual for $5.00 here:

Singers with drop-in bobbin:
Slip bobbin into case. Use hand-wheel to draw thread tail up from
case. Pull thread towards back of needle, holding thread tail. lower
foot, begin to sew.
I know the Singers get bad press, but I love them for the speed, and
ease of sewing which they provide. Thread-winding in-case? How easy and
quick does it get? Snap- on/off feet? Speed-freaky! May you enjoy your
machine as much as I have enjoyed my Singers.
