Frequently Asked Questions
Q) Help!
I am breaking a lot of needles and the tension is getting too tight on
its own while stitching and causing the thread to break. I am learning
the machine for two weeks. Is it so sensitive too wools, cottons, and
fleece that this would make such a major difference in the stitching -
breaking needles, breaking thread?
(A) It may not be tension that is causing the problem with your portable
blindstitch. If you have broken needles it has probably left some
needle burrs in the thread and needle path that need polishing off with
fine emory cloth (crocus) before sewing again.
Start with a new LWx6T needle without thread or fabric. Watch the
needle as you turn the hand wheel. If there is needle deflection,
reduce the penetration dial until there is no needle movement. If there
is needle deflection caused by burrs, they must be polished off. Check
the looper tip and two arms for any needle burrs and polish off. If
there is needle deflection caused by the needle track lifting the
needle, lower the track very slightly with the screws on the side of
the black metal bracket above the needle.
Finally, Back off on the tension dial and retighten while you are
sewing with a light strong thread and light to medium weight fabric,
until you get the correct tension without loops. If tension is too
tight it will push the thread up so it is not all the way down between
the tension discs where it belongs.
(Q) I can't understand how to finish off at the end. It
always unravels. I have read the manual and it seems simple but I
apparently just "don't get it." Any help would be appreciated.
(A) At the end of the blindhem seam, position the needle all the way to the left, then use the knee lift to remove the fabric and jerk on the fabric at the same time. That will tie off the tread and break the thread at the
needle without bending the needle. You can weave the thread tail back into the stitches or cut it off. Before the above procedure, you could also turn the handwheel counterclockwise for a few stitches, then come back to the end of the seam and repeat the first procedure above.

I think you may have to make an adjustment on your blind hem foot, it also could be the wrong fit for your machine.

SOURCE: what are the settings for a blind hem stitch?
I downloaded your manual for free at www.singerco.com and I be darned, I see why you are baffled. Call Singer at 1-800-4singer and ask them to tell you. This is a first for me to see in a machine that is not that old, my 45 year old Kenmore has the blind stitch setting. There has to be some answer to this.

SOURCE: does the singer 3116 come with a blind stitch for hemming
Most sewing machines come with a blind hem stitch. It is the one that looks like several small zig-zags then occasionally a large one, or several straight stitches then a large zig-zag. Either will result in an invisible hem.
Some machines have a special foot but it is not necessary, mine does not. There is however a special way of folding the fabric.

Hope this straightens things out for you!
