It does not sew the stitch selected on the Display. Example: Straight stitch selected, machine sews Blind Hem Stitch. What is wrong?
You can try a 'hard reboot' of the software by unplugging the machine while it is turned on, wait about a minute, then plug in and restart the machine. This is a way to make the software do a self-diagnostic check and possibly give you an error code or (best case scenario) cause the machine to start working properly again.
If this does not work you probably need an adjustment by a technician.
Testimonial: "This did not fix the problem. At first I thought it did but when I started going through the stitch types it got stuck on the blind hem stitch again."

Is the needle bent, burred or blunt, did it strike a pin or the sewing machine foot during the jam up?
Hand wind the machine through the stitch formation and listen for any squeaking or popping sound as the needle enters the fabric. Or just change the needle anyway and see if it helps. A needle is good for 4-6 hours of sewing only so they do need changing for each new project.
If the stitching is looking uneven and tension is bad check your thread path and make sure the top thread is between the tension discs correctly and under tension, the tension dial is set to the mid range 5 or so and that the bobbin thread is correctly held by the tension spring and is in the right way and rotating in the correct direction.
If looping on the underneath, then your top tension is off, and visa versa.

Hey. It's full out possible that you have it on the right setting...but concider this - the switcher inside the sewing machine could be broken (ie. It's moving to different stitches - but not the one you have the outside set for)
It happened to me (pc o crap singer model)
SOURCE: How do I do a stretch stitch?
The bes way to hem a t-shirt on a household machine is to use a double needle, straight stitch. You will see two straight stitches on top and zig zag on the back. Just make sure the zig zag catched the top of the hem.

When you switch sewing modes, what does the display read as far as the stitch type you are using?

Are you absolutley sure you're not getting a problem with stitch formation on, for example, wide zig-zag. Check again, using a different colour top and bottom and make sure that the stitch is being formed properly with only the top colour on top and bottom colour on the bottom. It sounds as though the bottom loop is not being picked-up by the hook properly. Make sure you've thoroughly cleaned-out any fluff under the stitch-plate and remove the hook/shuttle and give the hook race a good clean and give it a single drop of oil, even if you've got the lightweight part-plastic hook/shuttle fitted.
