I have not used the machine often since I purchased it at a Quilting Sewing Store, and I have filled the bobbins several times, but now it will not fill the bobbin and the store wants $75.00 to look at it and tell me whats wrong. They also said they think there may have been a problem with this model and this issue. I even took out the manual and went through the instructions several times with no luck. I need to get it working as I need to make two baby hooded towels for a baby shower coming up. Thank you for your help.
When a sewing machine sits up & is not used the oil & grease sometimes clog up the machine, & also if the bobbin spindle has jumped time then it will have to be fixed at a sewing machine shop
I would suggest taking the machine to another sewing machine shop somewhere else & have it checked

The handwheel may have a pull out/push in action to disengage/engage the clutch, or it may automatically disengage when the bobbin winder is moved to the right for winding........hold a short tail of thread to get it started and you should be away.
Move the winder to the left for sewing, or push handwheel in, according to the mechanism.

The Singer 626 has a self-winding bobbin. You place the empty bobbin in the bobbin thingie (sorry for being so untechnical). On the left of the bobbin you will see a "lever" with a circular top on it (I think it is red-ish) Again, sorry for being so untechnical. Press the "lever" down. Thread your machine, thread the needle, wrap the excess thread from the needle around the knob that tightens the needle and holds it in place and press your foot down on the foot pedal. The bobbin will automatically wind as you hold the foot pedal down. Do not wind the thread onto the bobbin past the outer white line.

There are a couple things that come to mind. If your plate is not pushed all the way up where it engages the metal tab on the bobbin, it will not wind properly. Second, if you are using a generic or an old bobbin, you need to replace it. I have seen many machines drive the owners crazy and it turned out to be a bad bobbin.

thread the same way as for sewing. put empty bobbin case in bottom. close slide plate only to red button, not all the way. wrap thread from needle around bolt that holds on the presser foot (or just hold it tight). press pedal to sew. bobbin should wind. when done, shut slide plate all the way and sew.
if this doesn't work, try using a pin to push down the center of the bobbin when the slide plate is in winding position - the little catch on the bottom of the plate breaks easily and then the bobbin won't wind without a little help.
