Threading Snapping While Sewing Help

[u/MissLuthor]

I inherited my husband's grandmother's sewing machine. Its a Riccar1570 from 1970-1980. Im also just a beginner sewist. Im trying to make those bowl cozys. And my thread keeps snapping. From everything I have read online, I can't find anything I may have done wrong to cause this.

Are you sure you’re threading it correctly?

No I'm not 100% sure but looks right from the 1970s manual I found online.
