I have a "White"...Same problem yesterday. I have a "White" treadle machine. It was sewing fine. Everytime my electric gave out I used my old trusty here. But, the other day, I was winding the bobbin and the needle broke (dont know why because it was sewing fine minutes ago). So, I changed the needle (it is facing the correct way) and loaded the bobbin and got ready to sew. No stitches.

I had an old Kenmore (not 100 years old, but old nonetheless) and the needle threaded from left to right instead of from front to back like we are used to.
