The "second thread in the belly of the sewing machine" is called the bobbin thread. To pull up the bobbin thread, first make sure that you've threaded your machine (correctly! <grin>). Presser foot should be up. Then pull about 6" of thread and anchor it to the base of the machine with your left hand finger. By hand, crank the flywheel one revolution and voila`, the bobbin thread will pull out. You can use a flat tool to sweep from front to back underneath the sewing foot to get the tail behind the presser foot. Sometimes it takes one or two tries to get it.
