Question

How do you put a string in a sewing machine?

Answer 1

I assume you mean to thread the machine?

there should be a little pattern printed on the machine, otherwise follow the instructions in the booklet that comes with the machine.

Answer 2

If by "string", you mean "thread", then different machines are threaded different ways.  All machines will have the thread passing through a tensioning device, through a take-up lever, and through a needle.  Sometimes it's front to back through the needle, sometimes it's right to left through the needle, sometimes it's left to right through the needle -- just depends on the brand and model of sewing machine.

Note that you must also thread a bobbin on all lockstitch machines (most home sewing machines)!
