I can't get the bobbin thread to catch on the needle.

What am I doing wrong? I move the knob to make the needle go down but it won't catch the thread. A friend had stopped by and she got it to do it. I ran the machine twice just getting a fell for it and then the next thing I know it's not sewing and the bottom thread isn't there. Sigh.

Is there anyone here that can write it out. A cheat sheet? LOL

It's a Singer 132q Featherweight and it says 150th anniversary on it. If that helps.

I might be hopeless on being able to work a sewing machine. LOL
