Ginny-
Welcome to the group! You will love it here.
I don't know about Craftsman scrollsaws, I use a DeWalt, but when you do get the blade in make sure the teeth are pointing in the downward direction. John A. Nelson's book
Scroll Saw Workbook 2nd Edition will help you very much. You can view and order it
here . It is published by our own Fox Chapel. I think everyone, including me, has used this book when starting out in scrollsawing.
