Singer Touch and Sew 600
Comments (11)Do you have the bobbin winder disengaged? It is the little silver knob on the right hand side of the machine. Down is engaged. I sew everyday on a 600. You can take the top and bottom off and put lube on the metal gears and oil everything else that moves. Take the bobbin shuttle out and and the throat plate off. Dust really good there and put a few drops of oil where the bobbin shuttle goes. Good Luck, Susan...See MoreSinger Touch and Sew HELP!
Comments (13)Hi, I have a Touch & Sew 706 in it's original cabinet. Hubby bought it for me over 30 years ago. Four years ago it had to have a very major repair involving a new bobbin winding mechanism and a new gear. The repairman said it was worth getting it repaired. The parts had to come from Germany and it was at the repair shop 2 weeks. Since it came back it's been working hard - making quilts. It purrs like a kitten and is a pleasure to use. I still have the worry occasionally, that something will go wrong. I did find that I kept breaking needles until I realised that I wasn't pushing the needle all the way into the needle housing when I replaced it. I love this machine but I also have a lightweight Toyota ECO 15A, bought from Tesco Direct to take to quilting group. Since getting the Singer repaired and buying the cheap Toyota, I have really come to appreciate my old T & S....See MoreOld Singer Touch and Sew bobbin trouble
Comments (23)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....See MoreSinger Touch n' Sew 626-- bobbin doesn't spin at all
Comments (7)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 :- )...See Morechickemama
