Hi, My Grandad fixes sewing Machines for 'Tools for self reliance'
charity. Normally he only takes certain types of Singer (most of you
will probably know which ones) HOWEVER, he cannot give the 744 (approx
20 yrs old?) away that he accidentially aquired, because he cannot
write instructions as to how to wind the bobbin:

HOW DO YOU WIND A BOBBIN ON A SINGER 744

if anyone has a manual they can easily email that would be great, but
all that is really required is details of how to wind the bobbin.

there is NO EXTERNAL BOBBIN WINDER that he can see.

the BOBBINS have a little notch on the bottom of then, presumably for
accepting some sort of drive. We expect that the bobbin is wound in the
machine, but can't work out how.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Best Regards

Maybe it's one of the ones that wound the bobbin with it still in the
machine instead of having to pull it out.

Check www.sewusa.com

They have threading & bobbin winding directions for many, many vintage
model sewing machines. The 744 is either a Touch & Sew, Stylist or
FashionMate. If the 744 isn't listed, try a number close to it, it may
be close enough to help with your machine.

Thread the machine, and take the end of the thread and wrap it around
the screw that holds the foot. Two or three wraps should be enough.
Now, open the slide plate over the bobbin and look for a lever that
moves over the bobbin. Move it as far over the bobbin as it will go.
Put the foot in the "up" position. Leave the slide plate open, and run
the machine. The bobbin should start to fill - you will be able to see
that through the clear bobbin.

When you have enough thread on the bobbin, close the slide plate and
remove the end of the thread from the screw. It should be a short
piece, having broken while winding the bobbin.
