So sorry to hear about your bobbin issue. I hate when that happens. Sending you ((((((HUGS)))))) to help you thru a bad day.

I have a similar Singer machine with the same way to wind a bobbin.
I find I have the best result if I make sure to wrap the thread around the screw for the pressor foot by going under the screw and wrapping the thread towards me.
If I go over the top of the screw and wrap away from me it doesn't work as well. Don't know if that will make any difference for you.

I am a new member, and saw your post offering a copy of the manual for the Singer touch &sew zig-zag model 758. Could I possibly take you up on that offer. My sister in law gave me her sewing machine but I have no idea how to use it.

Thanks

These bobbins don't work on a bobbin winder.

You can get bobbins at Joann's or from the Singer website.

My experience has been that the new bobbins don't work right. I bought the singer ones and the ones with the white bottom and neither wind properly. I have absolutely no problem with the ones that came with the machine years ago.

The gentleman that services my 758 also indicated that the ones you can buy now won't work right.

I just found a singer touch and sew zigzag model 758 at a garage sale for $2. The feed dogs are really flat (not sure what someone did to them), the bobbin case is apart, and the bobbin itself is in two parts (not sure if this is normal). My local shop wants $50 to tune it up plus whatever else it needs (mystery). From this board I've read that this machine has nylon gears. I was hoping it was metal. Is it worth keeping/fixing or should I buy an inexpensive machine at walmart?

You need to look at the bottom of the bobbin to make sure you buy the correct replacement. I believe the 758 has a small slot like a minus sign. I also have a 1050 which uses a similar bobbin but it has a slot resembling a plus sign on the bottom. Make sure that this slot lines up with the little gear that slides up in this slot when you engage the bobbin for winding (push over the little bullseye). My 1050 has gotten touchy and I have to be very precise in the bobbin placement before engagement for winding.

Cindy M --- the feed dogs are smooth. They are made of a teflon type material. Bobbin should be in one part and I think it screws together. I had that machine until I bought my Pfaff.
