That seems like it would also work!

Try what @FrankGrow mentioned below. When you select "Export Media" deselect "Work Area" and select "Entire Source" and see if that fixes the issue.

Nice, and thank you! I'm so glad my video has helped you!!

We also had issues getting the screw loose. I think my husband finally had to take a screwdriver and hammer and beat it a little to knock it loose. It did finally come loose. Not sure of any other way to release parts from that area.

The top gear is held in with a cinch pin ( or roll pin ).. It can be driven out with a finishing nail, but the replacement gear will not fit on the shaft. I ended up throwing away my pristine ( and expensive ) model # 640..

@@1953childstar i realize the replacement gear i bought didnt fit either

@@thearough It is very disappointing.. You go through "all the bother" and realize the machine is not repairable..

@@1953childstar 😔😩😭 i cant accept this fate this machine is just too sexy.

Super helpful thank you! 🙏🏻

Technically, yes, but I am giving you the link to the pattern that inspired this bulky yarn pattern because it is designed for smaller yarn and hook size. It is also free and might be easier to follow that trying to adapt mine to such a small yarn size. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/viking-helm-hat

Thank you!

I'm not sure because we didn't have that problem. Without seeing a picture or video I'm just not sure. Look on the right side. Mine had a metal tab that held the bobbin case down.

You're welcome!

I'm not sure. Older model sewing machines have metal parts. Metal parts eventually became plastic in newer model machines because of the noise level. I'm not sure whether or not plastic parts are available for that model.

This machine has a very common problem that causes the motor to be very loud but it's an easy fix. There's a little rubber wheel on the end of the motor that rests against the hand wheel. The little rubber wheel is what runs the machine. The problem is that in time the rubber wheel gets a dent from being pressed into the hand wheel -and that little dent makes a very loud noise when you use the machine. Kind of like a car flat tire. It's very easy to replace. Just search the internet for a "Friction Pulley" for a White Rotary machine (because the Kenmore is a White Rotary machine). Order one and replace it and the loud motor will be quiet again. When you're done sewing, stick something against the motor so it isn't touching the hand wheel and it won't get another flat spot. The new pulley is less than $10. I'd say it's a 90% chance that's the problem.

You're welcome and thanks for the tip!

It's in the description, but I'm just reposting it here: lydiahawk.com/singer-model-628-touch-sew-deluxe-zig-zag-sewing-machine/

Here's the one I use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmngquphL-co7s

Could be the timing is why it's not picking up thread. There's a good timing video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmngquphL-co7s

@@LydiaHawkDesigns thanks so much! I’ll look into.

Oh! I wish we could share pictures here. If you have the manual, at least there's a photo of it and what it looks like, but there's no reference to a name for it. At all. But if the pin is still there, maybe you don't need the button? If you go to the link I'm attaching here and download the free manual, the picture I'm looking at is on page 7. lydiahawk.com/singer-model-628-touch-sew-deluxe-zig-zag-replace-gears-oil-loose-parts-set-timing-thread-adjust-self-winding-bobbin/

Also, if you take a picture and send it to Heather at this link I'm attaching here, she might be able to tell you what it is and help you locate one. www.singeronline.com/

I could maybe create one with graphics to show the shapes more clearly. I'm not knitting right now, so I can't reshoot a video, but the side panel is long, and the wider bottom fits the more narrow part of the back/top area. Let me see what I can do visually with photos.

Also, you can control the speed of a video. I didn't know that for a long time. Select the gear icon and choose your playback speed.

Go to this link: lydiahawk.com/lhd-hats/ The 4th paragraph is a popup link with the graphic and a way to color code to match up the pieces for seaming (right sides facing). It reads, "And for a popup image of how the pieces align, click here."

All I know for sure about my issue, is that if I skip even opening Media Encoder and go straight to Export in Premiere Pro, and select all my settings from there, it exports perfect every time. And just double check that you hit the down arrow button at the end of you video to make sure there isn't stray video down the timeline somewhere. That is the only thing that fixed my issue.

I assume yes? Because it's a version of the 628. I don;t have those, so I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine they are so dissimilar of they share the same number. I hope that makes sense!

I just realized that that top vertical gear dies not have set screws, it has rivets. Is this fixable?

Without a photo I'm not sure. My machine is the only reference I have for this model. Sorry that I'm not more helpful. We had to start fixing our own machines after the pandemic and we are not trained in all things related to sewing machines, unfortunately.

@@user-gr2vz6vk7bi think the tool is a pilot punch or roll pin punch. You should be able to get a set from Walmart/ harbor freight just make sure to get the right size

@@user-gr2vz6vk7b It is a "roll pin" and needs to be "punched out".. The new gear will not fit the shaft though.. I have had experience..

I know what you mean. So glad it helped! 😂

Yay!!

Wow! That's very cool. Sorry for the late response. I had an emergency. I would love to make a video about those things. Axle grease? That's crazy! So glad my video helped you!!

It was not "hot rodded".. The first production models had metal gears. There is no way the machine could have metal gears added after production, because the gears needed to be "factory installed" only. The gears were hand meshed and "run in" with an abrasive compound at high speed and rinsed with Varsol.. It seemed common for either repairmen or "husbands" to get the grease gun and lube the machines. I have repaired a few that were very congealed with hardened cup grease..

Sorry for the late response. I had an emergency. That can be tricky. Maybe I can make a separate video.

Plastic. I read that they switched to plastic gears because the metal gears were noisy. Sorry for the late response. I had an emergency.

The early production models of #'s 620 -626 -628 all had metal gears. The # 626 was a home economics classroom machine, so it had metal gears longer than the others. By the fall of 1966, all of the machines had nylon gears..

@@LydiaHawkDesigns The earlier production models were made with metal gears.. The # 628 - 620 - 626 machines made in the Spring and summer of 1966 had metal gears. By the Fall of 1966 they had nylon gears..

@@1953childstar very helpful. Thanks.

@@1953childstar I began home ec class in 1966 after 3 years in a home ec 4-H Club

Sorry for the late response. I had an emergency. The pattern has the different size measurements. The link to that is in the description!

You're welcome!

Glad to be of help!

It must be catching somewhere. There are plastic tabs all over and you have to find and gently move them to release the catch. Are you able to put the cover back on and maybe start from another area? Also, don't forget to remove screws where necessary.

Yes, we were able to take the cover off and replace it. There's a timing video linked in the description.

Glad I could help!

😂😂😂

I had the same issue , very hard to follow with the jumping around

Oh please do!

@@LydiaHawkDesigns it worked very well! I don’t know how to share a picture on here.

That's great! I have a contact form on my website. You'd have to message me, and then I message you back with my gmail to share a photo. It's probably a lot just to share a photo, but we can do that if you like. So glad you were able to fix your issue. Sometimes knotting can be a tension issue. I hope you get that worked out, too!

Yeah, same here! Haha.

You know, I use double so I can feed both sides through. I honestly didn't even consider single because it only feeds 1 side through and I didn't want loose ends. Does that make sense? When you watch the final functionality of the double, I think it makes more sense for this particular design.

@@LydiaHawkDesigns I finally decided to get doubles after I rewatched and paid close attention. They arrived in the mail on Tuesday but I have been working so hard this week I have not had a chance to finish one yet. Thank you for this great pattern!!

You are most welcome!

You are welcome! In the description below I've got links for "Singer Gear Set" (Amazon set you can still buy), as well as "Free Manual" (a link where all these same links are available on my website. Does that help?

Not sure how to answer the question, but the pattern is free on my website.

It's freeform, so I'm still trying to find my notes and the video. Sorry, I may have to start from scratch.

You know... I have my notes somewhere, but I literally freeform crocheted it so it might require the whole video just to show what I did. Let me see if I can find the notes and the whole video and if I can make something comprehensive with it.

You are very welcome!

Thank you! You can always go larger in yarn size and hook size.

Thank you for the tip. I'll definitely do that!

I'm so glad! I hope you have fun with your machine!!

Could be the timing is off? Without looking at it I'm not sure. There are some really good timing videos out there and your machine should be pretty straightforward as far as locating the timing bar and adjusting it. I don't have a video on how to do that, though.

You are very welcome!

I agree!!!

Glad it was helpful!
