then it most likely has zig-zag. There are a lot of dials and levers on this machine. Most straight stitch machines have only one or two. One dial/lever with numbers from 0-4 or 5 would be the stitch length. The other dial/lever with numbers from 0-4 or 5 would be stitch width, which would make a zig-zag stitch.

Check the position of the Button Hole Stitch adjuster that is directly under the stitch length control. It looks like a flat head screw and should be straight up and down for normal sewing.
I would try a metal bobbin, SA 156 or a Singer 15j. The SA 156 metal bobbins can be bought really cheap on ebay for $8.99 free shipping and there are 20 in the package. My 3116 sometimes will act up with the plastic bobbins and this cleared it up for me. Hope this helps you. You may be able to find the bobbins local because it is the same one they use in Brother machines but they will cost you more. Good luck
If you have a flatbed machine they are normally all 16 inches long and will fit into any sewing machine cabinet, if you have a free arm machine it will mean a tailor made cabinet for the model you have which is normally made by Horn Cabinets but they are vfery expensive, you have not said what is exactly happenning to your machine when you select the stitches.
