You can definitely quilt on the Singer Simple 3116! However, I do NOT recommend quilting several different kinds of fabric together. I don't think the machine can handle it, so stick with quilting cottons. I free-motion quilt on mine with the darning/free-motion foot. You can also use an even-feed foot for straight (and only straight...) quilting. I, personally, think that an even-feed is far too expensive and certainly not as versatile as learning to free-motion. You can find both feet here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Singer-Parts/Sewing-machine-Parts/Model-3116/1232/1220000/50033899/00007

Good luck!

You could probably do light quilting on it, you'd probably
need to buy a extension table for it.
here's a link for parts for the the machine, they do have a extension
table you might be interested in.

SOURCE: top part of singer 3116 is squeaky

Oil the top of the needle bar very lightly and the moving parts of the takeup lever, if you still have it then I would suggect taking it in for a check before it costs a lot of money

As im sewing the top thread is feeding too much out and it is bunching and jaming on the bottom of my quilts.

try changing the needle
check to see if the thread has come off the thread take up lever--that can jam up a machine
check to see that the machine is threaded thru all the thread guides on the machine
check the top tension to make sure it set correctly--usually 3 or 4

if you need a instruction manual singer has some free downloads
Go to the singer website
At the bottom of the homepage look for instruction manual--click on it
It will take you to another page
In the box put in the model number of the machine (example 3116)
Click search
They have one & it's a free download
