First, raise the presser foot lever and turn the flywheel towards you to raise the thread take-up lever to its highest point. Next,, place your spool of thread on the horizontal post and hold in place with the spool cap. You know that little nick in the spool where you tuck your thread so the spool won't unravel? Make sure that nick is pointing to the right. Now draw your thread to the left and "click" it into the little silver loop. A 1" oval thread guide sits to the left of that silver loop; draw your thread around the left of the thread guide. Now you're going to loop your thread through the tension discs. You'll see two "cracks" in your machine. First run your thread DOWN through the RIGHT crack, then immediately UP through the LEFT crack. At the top of the LEFT crack is your silver thread take-up lever. This is probably the trickiest part of threading your machine because the lever is always kind of inside the machine. But you can do it! Pass your thread from RIGHT to LEFT through the back of the loop at the top of the silver lever. Whew! We're almost there. Now draw your thread right back down the same crack you pulled it up before. You now have two stationary guides above your needle. Pass it through the thick silver guide and then through the thin silver guide. Both of these moves are kind of a left-to-right motion. Now thread your needle from FRONT to BACK. You're done -- well, except for the bobbin. Hold your bobbin spool above the bobbin case so that it looks like a letter "P" Draw the bobblin thread from RIGHT to LEFT through the small crack in the silver part of the bobbin case, then pull the thread straight toward the back of the machine. Now turn your flywheel one revolution toward you so that your upper thread picks up the bobbin thread. Now close your bobbin cover, and SEW! Congratulations! You did it!
Most of the newer machines show the eye of the needle in the front, so you should thread from front to back. A lot of the older machines thread from the right side to the left as the eye of the needle is on the side.
Necchi has a wide variety of machines from over many many years of production.
The threading varies model to model.
Vintage Necchi machines that were Italian have become very popular for their all metal construction, easy of repair and high quality stitching.
I recommend figuring which model you have and web searching using both Necchi and the model.
There are also a number of forums and Yahoo groups whose members are all fans and knowledgeable about all things Necchi.

There is a man on utube with a video titled 'How to thread an antique singer 24-80' which is excellent on this. I threaded my Singer 24 according to his instructions, making allowances for the different placement of my spool holder, and it works like a dream. Apparently you can sew leather with these, but you need the proper needle. They take singer 24x1 needles but these come in different sizes. Various people sell these on ebay, and no doubt the seller could help you select the correct size.
It depends on which model you have. There are several websites that have examples with illustrations. Just type how to thread a sewing machine, and look at several of the sites.
can you sew leather with this machine and what settings of tension would you use?
