I guess we don't know. Sorry pyduke! I hope it works out for you. My machine is older. Doesn't have the drop in kind.

I also have a Touch'N Sew Singer 758 and love this machine. I would not change any of the new ones for this Singer. Now, also, I would like to machine quilt with it. I misplaced my instructions book and cannot remember the procedure to machine quilt with my T&S. I did it before but my mind is not into it I guess... I remember I have to put the no-dog plate and there is the embroider attachment to put on. Then, I have to put the foot pressure to Darn or do I?? Yet, it doesn't work at all. Could it be a thread problem? there is not even a good stitch after stitching a little bit. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone.I have a singer 626 T&S. when I turn the wheel by hand towards me and the bobbin hook is at about 1 o clock, the wheel gets tight. I continue turning, its ok until I get to same spot. its been getting Jammed. the bobbin case seems a little loose. I timed it. the hook picks up Loop".Before" I put Bobbin case & bobbin back in machine, "it all works fine", & doesn't get stuck".As soon as I put bobbin case back in with bobbin", it gets stuck. I even turned right screw under slide plate, but it doesn't help. I've clean, oiled, re-threaded, put new needles in.I've tryed so many things.it was working good months ago, then, one day, it got jammed. Nothing in machine Looks broke. when I filled bobbin with thread, it filled about half way, then slowed down & stopped. It seems like its the Bobbin case, but it Looks like it's in great condition. I can't figure it out? Does anyone have any ideas to Help? Thank You.

The bobbin case doesn't move, it stays put. The bobbin turns as the thread gets picked up by the upper thread. There is a hook and race that comes around with the upper thread, that is the part that moves under the bobbin plate. The touch and sew models have a very clever bobbin set up, it is a bit unusual and unfortunately I don't have something close to a 626 near me to guide you. It's not difficult though, and it's easy to follow the pictures in the manual. The bobbin case should click secury into position and the bobbin should drop in snuggly. Do a youtube search on Touch and Sew in geneal, it will likely have identical bobbin area setup. There is a tiny setting lever near the bobbin not sure what to call it, it has a flat round top, it has to be in the right position for sewing. I hope you have the manual, double check threading. Also double check that the needle is put in the correct way, flat side facing backwards and needle threads front to back. The 626 model is the last of the all steel geared machines, it's a very good model, and I hope you know you have a machine worth spending time and money on. There isn't a single model made today with all metal gears, it handles layers of heavy to fine fabrics and it stitches very fine. If there's anything it is a bit more noisy than the the most silent Singer models, but it can be improved with oils like Triflow and Finish Line Ceramic Wet lube. They are perfect for vintage sewing machines, with added teflon and nano ceramics which add a noticeable smoothness to the machinery. Remember to oil all the points shown in the manual, if it hasn't been used in a while, you need to give it a drop or two of oilk every where, run it a bit and then repeat the following days. Triflow and Finish Line Ceramic Wet lube are ideal, but any good sewing machine oil will do. You have a really nice machine, I promise :- ) http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diagrams/Threading_Pages/Singer_Sewing_Machine_Threading/singer_626_threading_diagram.htm For the busted gears: where are they placed? I can't find a user or service manual for this model on the web. I'm sure you will get it sorted out, as I already said, this model is good enought to have serviced and repaired professionally. With a bit of luck and effort a lot can be done at home too :- )
