Help with Simplicity Sewing Machine

A Simplicity sewing machine.Hi, I have a simplicity SL415 sewing machine. I can't figure out where the thread spool sits. Usually there is a metal rod. The top right shows where you place a bobbin to thread it but I don't know where the spool goes. Please help. Thank you.

I have found the instruction manual and in the manual, it shows that you need to go to the back of this machine and pull the spindle for the thread out. Unfortunately, I can not download this manual because you need to pay for it. I did go to the Singer website to try and get the free manual for your machine and it is saying that they can't find this one. All the manuals I have found so far for this machine you need to buy them from the person. Singer does offer free manual download if you can enter certain information to find the book you are looking for. There is a support email that I did find that you can write to them and request a copy of the manual so you don't need to pay for this. Here is the email address they have given on the website. talktous@singerco.com.

The little bit of the manuals I could actually see how the spindle for the thread not too far from the bobbin rewind at the back of the machine at an angle and that it needed to be pulled up in order to use it.

I believe you are just missing the spool pin. The bobbin pin should unscrew and the spool pin should screw in.

This site may have the right spool pin: www.sewingpartsonline.com/instruction-book-simplicity-sl415...

This should be at the ,extending for spool and bobbin(adjustable). Also your manual will tell you. If manual needed, link- www.manualslib.com/.../sewing-machine.html - If not working contact a repair /supplier in your area for help.

I'm gathering this is a 'new' machine to you - never used (by you)?
Would it be possible for you to ask someone where you purchased the machine to help you?

Information: "Simplicity sewing machines, named for the popular sewing pattern brand that most beginners seek out, is now owned by Brother."

I believe the metal rod you see as the bobbin winder(?) is the metal rod for the thread also. Have you tried to raise the metal rod? or is it necessary to raise it?
I believe you need to find instructions on how to thread your machine and then you'll see where the spool of thread sits/starts.

I have not found a free manual but you will probably need to purchase one.
I did find this machine for sale on eBay and thought perhaps you could contact the seller and ask if they can help you with your threading problem. Most sellers are accommodating so give it a try.

The only other suggestion would be to contact these sites and ask your question as I'm sure they can help you - someone may even offer a copy of the manual. Join the sites before you post.

Hi I found this at a thrift shop. I have pulled up on the bobbin. It is just the bobbin threader. A thread spool does not fit on it. I have researched on finding a manual. I also contacted the person on ebay. They didnt send photo of where thread spool went. So after all my researching I found this site.Thank you for your help.

Thanks - Pghgirl may be correct.
I feel sure if you contact one of the sites they will be able to tell you exactly what you need and then you'll have someone to ask if you have other problems.
