Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific manual for the Dial and Sew 750 sewing machine. However, I can give you some general instructions on how to use a sewing machine that may help you get started:
Threading the machine: Follow the threading guide and thread the machine correctly. Make sure that the presser foot is raised when threading the machine so that the thread can be properly tensioned.
Winding the bobbin: Place the thread spool on the spool pin and wind the thread onto the bobbin by following the instructions in your manual. Make sure to cut the thread once it's wound.
Installing the bobbin: Open the bobbin case and place the bobbin inside it, making sure the thread is coming off the bobbin in the correct direction. Then, pull the thread through the slit in the bobbin case and hold onto it.
Adjusting the stitch length and width: Depending on the fabric you're working with, you may need to adjust the stitch length and width. The stitch length controls how far apart each stitch is, while the stitch width controls the width of the stitch. The controls for adjusting these settings will be on your machine, typically on the front or side of the machine.
Sewing a straight stitch: Practice sewing a straight stitch by lining up the fabric with the edge of the presser foot and slowly pressing the foot pedal. Keep your hands on the fabric, guiding it through the machine. Be sure to sew at a consistent speed to maintain even stitches.
Using additional stitches: Many machines have a variety of stitches you can choose from. Consult your manual to learn how to select different stitches and adjust the length and width settings.
Finishing your sewing: Once you've finished sewing, cut the threads and remove the fabric from the machine. You may also need to clean the machine and oil it, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.
Remember to always consult your manual for specific instructions on how to use your particular machine. Good luck with your new sewing machine!
Machine stitch = stitching using a sewing machine or other machine
Stay Stitch = sewing a stitch line between the fabric edge and the regular seam line (usually on curves) to prevent the fabric from stretching when sewing the seam.
Quilting is a bit more finicky than regular sewing. Be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the top thread. FWIW, I use a separate bobbin case for FMQ that I have tightened the tension to keep the bobbin thread from coming to the top of the sandwich, but I tend to use a finer thread for quilting so adjusting the bobbin takes care of it. In your case, however, it sounds like the top thread is staying under the fabric. I would try tightening the top tension. Also, install a brand new needle--a top stitch, embroidery, or microtex needle seem to work well for me. Test well on a sandwich made of the same fabric and batting and get it adjusted well before sewing on your quilt. Sometimes sewing speed will affect stitches under the fabric, or even on top.
Needle old or bent, incorrect size. Incorrect thread for material, packed with lint. The sewing foot is not on correctly or the needle is not pushed in high enough. Old thread. Hope this helps.

This was really helpful for me fixing my daughter a John Lewis (janome) mini sewing machine, and now can get the bobbin thread up again, however, when you sew, the thread is not staying in stitches, just coming off the material completely. I tried forcing the gears on one more time but then it didn't pick up the bobbin thread again so went back to the other gear position. Any ideas of what to try and get it stitching again? Thanks
Hello. Are you putting the presser foot down before sewing? Check also the stitch length, set it to at least 3, and make sure it's not set to a darning stitch or hand embroidery stitch that lowers the feed dog.
Set the tension on the sewing machine for the weight of the material you want to sew. The tension setting shows in the stitch on the material. Use the chart on the machine that matches types of stitches with suggested material tensions. An example of this is, the stitch to sew jean material is different than the stitch to sew silk.
Take the bobbin and wind the thread around it. Make sure the bobbin is empty and don't fill it too full of thread. A bobbin filled too full won't stay tightly spun.
Thread the string evenly on the bobbin. Move the thread back and forth evenly and in layers that are level. Many Singer sewing machines have a bobbin winder on the top of the sewing machine, and the consistency of how it threads can save you frustration later.
Find the hole on the bobbin that is located near the inside spindle of the bobbin. Take the thread sitting on the sewing machines spool and insert the thread in the hole from inside the bobbin to the outside. Set the threaded bobbin on the spool designated for spinning on the top of the sewing machine for some Singers.
Turn the side drive wheel slowly until the threaded bobbin has a layer or two of thread on it. Push down on the drive peddle and fill the bobbin, but don't thread it to the very edge. If the bobbin is too full the thread will release erratically. Cut the thread from the spool.
Drop the bobbin into the bobbin case under the area where the needle sews the material. Close the case and turn by hand the side wheel drive until the bobbin threads into the sewing machine. You can tell when the bobbin is threaded by the tiny piece of thread that juts out of the bobbin case where the needle goes up and down.
Grab the thread with your fingers and pull it out approximately 4 inches. Your bobbin is now spun and threaded.
