Hi Kim and welcome to MJ's. Just a thought. If you need to take it in for a tune up at a repair shop, perhaps you can watch them thread it?
Sewing machines have a few threading things in common: A place to put the spool of thread, next a guide before the tension, a tension mechanism, another down then up guide. Then a moving take up mechanism, another down guide then a guide for the thread above the needle and then the needle. See if you can find these landmarks on your sewing machine. Here is a site that might help too:

Do you have a digital camera? If you do can you take a photo of your machine and email it to me? I've threaded all kinds of machines in the past.....
Oh, one more thing. Do you know how to wind your bobbin thread? Then when you put your bobbin in the bobbin case...most sewing machines work with the bobbin winding off counter clockwise, so pull your thread and make sure the bobbin is unwinding counterclockwise before placing it in the bobbin holder in your machine.
