Did you get a slant shank even feed foot? The Singer 4622 uses a slant shank. Sewing machines can have a high, low or slant shank foot. I would expect the wrong shank walking foot either being too high or too short from the shank screw to the needle plate on the Singer 4622. The appropriate presser feet are shown here: https://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/singer-4622-parts-accessories.php .
I hope this helps. Otherwise, check if the presser foot lifter is working properly to lower the foot.
I was hoping to find a video tutorial online for you, but no luck. I did find written instructions with photos regarding using a sewing machine overcast stitch as a serger. This is the link: https://doitbetteryourself.club/how-to-overcast-stitch/
Apparently, the Singer 5511 Scholastic isn't a true serger.
you may have the bobbin in backwards to the way it's supposed to feed. if your talking about the bobbin not winding on top to fill, you have to push the lever over that the bobbin is sitting on.
Remove the bobbin. Thread your top thread just as normal. Now turn the wheel toward you and watch the area where the bobbin normally be. You should notice a sharp object (hook) pick up that thread just as you continue to turn the wheel. If it doesn't pick it up then the needle and hook aren't meeting at just the right time. This will mean that your machine needs to be timed.
It sounds like it is not threaded properly through the tension disc. Try rethreading and make sure the presser foot lever is in the up position. If it continues, once threaded and with the presser foot down, pull on the thread through the needle. If it has resistance, it is threaded properly. If it pulls easily then there is a problem in the tension area. Check to see if there are peices of thread broke off in between the tension disc.
Personally I don't have the experience with a buttonholer attachment, however I do have several slant Singer machines. I'd suggest that you go to yahoo.com and click on Groups. In the search box put in singerslantsewing and join that group. Members are a diverse group of Singer enthusiasts, some repair guys there, and they are happy to assist, should you join and post your problem. There are other groups for Singers, but this group is dedicated to the slant needle models.
