That's the same model that I have and I got it in the fall of 1985; shortly after I was married! I don't sew often and it just quit working for me recently. I am paying $167 to get it all cleaned and repaired. I hope it's worth it. They said it was a nice model.
Its as old as its feels
Not sure but the 626 model is from 1966.
Typically, suspenders are adjustable and not sewn on. Many times, the ends of the suspenders feature buttonholes or loops to be secured to buttons that are attached inside the waistband of the garment. The suspenders can be made adjustable with belt buckles and holes for adjusting length.
To sew a button onto a shirt, first thread a needle with a piece of thread. Position the button where you want it on the shirt and push the needle up through one of the buttonholes. Pull the thread through and then push the needle down through the opposite buttonhole. Repeat this process several times to secure the button in place. Finally, tie a knot in the thread on the back of the fabric to secure it.

I found one selling on eBay and they were asking $45.99.
The computerized machines simplify the operation of such a complicated machine, helping a novice navigate more efficiently and effectively. A buttonhole function helps a novice sew perfect buttonholes; all the sewer needs to do is putting a button on the foot and let the machine do the programming. The ability for a machine to "step ahead" allows the sewer to not worry about adjusting tension and setting allowances; this function helps with installation of zippers and buttonholes. A basic rule is that generic machine brands are not preferred; both the quality and functionality of these machines will not outlast the sewer and their needs.
The word "sew" is a verb, not a noun. There is no plural for sew.
There is threading diagram and instructions at Sew USA (link below). Put in what you are looking for. Name and model #. Hope this helps.
If you have a little patience you can find anything at all on craig's list and clicking on your area will get you to posts selling ones near by. Of course there is ebay but theres the shipping costs and the inability to see it before you buy. I see kenmore sewing machines for sale all the time on both. Sewing machines seem to be a item that folks buy and then don't use much so most are in good shape. You can also try your local sew and vac stores. They have used reconditioned machines that are reasonably priced and are usually guaranteed to be in good shape with a return policy to protect from getting a lemon.
