Singer 600E Touch & Sew HELP:-(

You'll find a manual here:

As to the "sewing loose" problem, it is most likely a threading error. Unthread the entire upper (needle) thread path, *clean thoroughly*, including between the tension disks (use heavy thread or ribbon), and re-thread with the presser foot in the

*up* position. It also pays to replace the needle with a new one. Once you have done that, do a test run.

And once you have the manual, do a really good cleaning and lubing, lint caught in any of the thread paths can cause major headaches.

HTH,

Follow-up:

You'll find the threading instructions here:

I've got a 600e, they are great machines. It probably is in need of some maintenance, especially a good cleaning along the threading paths, both upper and lower.

"Floss' between the tension discs with a piece of clean cotton cloth, with some alcohol on it. This will dislodge any fluff or threads affecting the tension. Stuff gets caught between the discs and causes problems.

Remove the needle and slide plates, and clean out all accumulated fluff and threads there, also. Remove the bobbin case (it's the horizontal type that you don't need to take out to insert a bobbin, but it is there where the bobbin sits into) and clean out it, and the area under it with alcohol on a QTip. Inspect the bobbin case for stray threads and fluff as well. =20

These are great machines, the last of the all-metal, gear driven (no belts) Singers!
