How Do I Thread a Bradford Model 7070 Sewing Machine?
Threading a Bradford 7070 sewing machine can make the difference between accurately using your machine and not being able to sew your favorite t-shirt together again. With any sewing machine, you must wound your bobbin first before attempting to thread the sewing machine's needle. The thread from the spool of thread and the thread from the bobbin can produce a strong-holding cross stitch that can endure most wear and tear, such as the washer and dryer or an intense sporting event. Does this Spark an idea?

Insert the thread through the needle, and then adjust the tension of the thread by turning the dial on the back of the machine clockwise. The tension dial is labeled one through 10; For standard thread, use a five or six setting. Push the knob in, and then turn the hand wheel until the needle has picked up the bobbin and tensioned thread. The end result of the sewing machine should have a piece of thread coming from the main spindle, around the tension guide and through the needle. Another strand of thread will come from the bobbin, underneath the plate and through the needle.
