Question
The needle on my Singer Touch and Sew Model 640 won't pick  up the bobbin thread while sewing. Any suggestions? lisa

Answer
HI Lisa,
could be the needle is wrong, the top of the machine is not threaded correctly, or there is not enough of the bobbin thread coming from the bobbin to be picked up , or the needle is in wrong.

If none of these work, guess it is time for a trip to the repair shop.
