Someone put a double needle tension on your machine & cut one of the posts off(on the rightside),you can see the marks, so when you thread it on the lower discs put it through the one on the back so the thread runs straight.
I couldn't find a 1245 manual but the threading is the same as this manual which you must have right or else it wouldn't be sewing.
