When a sewing machine is sewing in place that mean the feed dogs are not up,, if the are up & it's still sewing in place then there is something wrong with the feed dogs & they need to be checked.

SOURCE: how to thread the bobbin on a singer simple sewing machine

Drop-in bobbin: Note: thread must change direction when entering bobbin shuttle notch. Usually bobbin will turn counter-clockwise when threaded properly.

1. hold bobbin so that the tail of thread is facing to left.
2. drop bobbin into bobbin shuttle.
3. pull thread toward you.
4. guide thread into notch and pull to left so that slot engages thread.
5. pull thread diagonally across shuttle toward back of machine.
6. draw bobbin thread up through needle plate with threaded needle.

SOURCE: reverse stitching on a singer 514, HELP!

In the center of the stitch length knob (at the right side of the machine) is a button. You would push that button in to get the machine to reverse.

Installing reverse lever for Singer Simple 3116

How To Reverse Stitch On A Singer Sewing Machine Correctly

Step 1. Press the reverse button

  • Refer to the Singer manual of the specific machine you have
  • Please find the button with the U-shaped arrow, typically at the front of the sewing machine, or check your manual for where it's located
  • Press the reverse stitch button and start sewing

Step 2. Start sewing

  • Hold the material as the sewing machine sews backward and stop it manually by taking your foot off the pedal
  • Deactivate the reverse stitch function by pressing the button again
  • Be careful not to hit the thread plate to avoid bunching
  • If you accidentally press the wrong button, turn off the Singer sewing machine and turn it on again to reset

My Singer 3116 sewing machine will not sew. I try to turn the wheel and it will not go the right way but will go like in reverse.

if the machine is turning it will sew
what may be your problem is that the sewing direction is in the reverse stitch position
if that is not the case , take it in to a sewing machine repair shop for a proper diagnosis

Singer simple sewing machine will not move forward, but will sew reverse with holding the reverse lever down like it is supposed to do. I have been sewing for 50+ years. No simple answers please

Sorry--the only thing I can find is that possibly the auto reverse is turned on. Other than that, perhaps contact Singer directly or take it for service.

Reverse Lever isn't working...

Most likely the "dogs" inside the lever are broken off. Oil/grease on the metal rod cause chemical attack to the plastic lever and the "dogs" break. Singer should know to degrease this rod before assembly.

Singer simple 3116 will not reverse

Sounds like spring or something disconnected from the lever. Take it in to your dealer or look at yourself carefully.
