But when I tried to use the bobbin winder, it just kept jamming. That part went fine, and I’m 99% sure I threaded it right. I unthreaded the machine and emptied the bobbin so I could attempt to thread it myself. The woman I bought it from repairs machines, and it seemed to work fine when she was showing it to me. I have a Singer Touch and Sew 626 that I just bought secondhand. Thank you for allowing me to share my story, Richard Ransom Beman

Plus I have brought my fair share of "dud" machines home, only to "part them out" and take the "carcass"to the dump. I don't need this machine, but the fun turquoise color and the fact that is works well have made me think I should keep this one. I hemmed two pair of jeans (always clip out the felled portion), and it handled the fabric beautifully, plus the tension was perfect (good luck, not all Touch and Sew machines are blessed with good tension). I cleaned it, lubed it and retrofitted it with a better "double carbon pile" foot control ( the "clam-shell type have a single pile and sewing slowly is impossible). I had seen a # 620 with metal gears, but it was in otherwise sad condition. It came with a cabinet (ugly, I re-donated it), and all the cams and accessories. I inspected it and saw "Metal gears" and could not believe it.
In reference to the Singer # 626 with metal gears, I found a "well loved, little used" # 628 at the Goodwill. Its slightly picky about weight of thred, doesnt like super thick thred. Make sure its the metal gears if your on the fence about purchase. It does layers of denim and canvas like butter. Ive used several other types of machines in the past, but I adore this one so much. Shut the door over bobbin, ready to rock and roll. Dont fill the bobbin more or it will jam.ĭrag a pen or something under the needle to pull string out to start sewing. Only thing to be careful of, when the bobbin stops the first time, its done. It will automatically thred the bobbin.ĭont be alarmed when thred you held tension on breaks in the first few cycles of the needle moving. Then slowly push the pedal down like normal sewing. There is a small lever on the left side with several circles on it, push lever down. Thred the needle and hold tension on the string by looping it several times around the circle that connects the foot. I had to watch the last part several times. If this link doesnt work, its Paul Rutan on you tube.
