This sewing machine was brought out from Italy after World War 11 by my husband's uncle from Abruzzi. He was a tailor by trade and her gave this machine to my mother in law who gave it to me.
It is in working order as my mother in law was still using it, but she is now gone and i don't know how to thread it! i would love to use it but cannot!
Can anyone help ?

Singer continued the W&W12 as their 12W after they took over the company in about 1905. The 12W manual may be helpful for general threading and oiling
