I recently purchased a Singer 620 Touch and Sew (for $1.50, that's a dollar and 50 cents) and am trying to decide if I want to keep it. I have several Singers and know how durable the machines are. However, the machine has a problem with the lower bobbin case--it doesn't move although the needle moves when the hand wheel is turned. I was told that this was due to broken gears in the bobbin case, which is okay with me if other things work for me. Such as the stitch patterns, which I am unfamiliar. That is my email to you.
Inside the top (where the thread sits) is a diagram showing the different stitch patterns and their respective numbers/letters. Such as A1 will give you a different stitch from B2, etc. Do I need the "fashion discs" for these stitch patterns, in addition to moving the levers, or are the discs and added feature? I have a 758 which doesn't have these levers, but requires the discs and believe I can use them on the 620.
Failing that, I have a 626 (now remember, I told you I have several Singers!) and would like to know if the parts on the 620 will fit the 626. This means the cam shaft, the bobbin case--any other internal (and expensive, hard-to-find) parts.
Thank you for your help
