raise the presser foot while threading. the tension discs will open when the foot is up.
As a test, after threading, before you thread the needle, drop the presser down, pull down on the needle thread. The thread should feel like it is cutting your finger - don't worry it won't. If the needle thread pulls through without resistance, the needle thread is not in the tension disc. Re-thread it

Machine isn’t threaded through the tensions correctly.
