I have an original Singer Touch and Sew 720. Until tonight it was in perfect working order. I lifted the presser bar, when I went to lower it again the lever made a click sound and the bar now won't move at all. The lever just wiggles about without any noticeable tension against it. Does anyone know how I access the lever and repair it?

The plastic gear that lifts and lowers the presser bar has worn and the click you heard was its 'dying gasp'.
This isn't something you can repair at home - take your Touch and Sew to a Singer factory trained repair tech. The Touch and Sew is a tricky machine to work on so you need to be sure you take it to a qualified (ie 'factory trained') tech.
I have a singer Merritt 9444 same thing the pressure foot lever doesnt work, it did, tried changing the pressure foot noe the lever moves up and down not raising or lowering the foot.
