To remove the covers on the Elna EL2000 sewing machine, you will need a screwdriver. Follow these steps:
Unplug the machine from the power source.
Locate the screws holding the cover in place. They are typically located at the top, bottom, and sides of the machine.
Use the screwdriver to remove the screws and set them aside.
Gently lift the cover off the machine.
To fix a machine stuck in reverse, try the following steps:
Clean the machine: Turn off the machine and unplug it from the power source. Remove any visible lint or debris from the feed dogs and bobbin case area. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any debris in hard-to-reach areas.
Check the reverse lever: The reverse lever may be stuck or jammed. Check to see if it moves freely. If it is stuck, try lubricating it with a drop of sewing machine oil.
Check the feed dogs: The feed dogs may be stuck or jammed. Use the handwheel to manually move the feed dogs up and down. If they do not move freely, clean and lubricate them.
Check the bobbin: The bobbin may be inserted incorrectly or wound too tightly. Remove the bobbin and reinsert it, making sure it is seated correctly. If the bobbin is wound too tightly, it can cause the machine to become stuck in reverse.
If none of these steps fix the issue, it may be a mechanical problem that requires professional repair.
e reverse lever on a sewing machine is most often a push-button or mechanical lever that you push when you want your fabric to feed in reverse. This button occasionally gets stuck or broken internally in the reverse position, causing the machine to only run in reverse. If this is the case you may have to take it to a dealer to be fixed.
If you raise the presser foot, set the stitch length to a 3 or higher, then slowly press the foot control, can you see the feed dogs rise, move backward, then drop and come forward again? If they are not moving, the feed dogs have seized. If they are moving but do not rise above the needle plate, then you have them disengaged.
If they are seized, resist the temptation to run the machine anymore until you can get it serviced. It could damage the motor causing more repair cost.
If they are disengaged (dropped), then you need to find the control lever or dial that engages them.
the bobbin has nothing to do with the feed teeth
however it is possible that at some point you moved the forward /reverse knob lever to middle where the teeth will not move
If it is the older Bernina 830 Record, could be some of the parts have seized due to lack of oil. Frequently, seldom used functions (levers, dials, feed dog control) are the first signs.
There is no reverse button, it is a lever.The stitch length lever also reverses the feed dogs - when down, it runs forward - at zero, it does not feed at all and when moved up, it reverses the machine. Set your stitch length by loosening the thumbscrew on the vertically moving lever and sliding the plate into position while moving the lever up to the desired mark. Tighten the screw and move the lever down to sew - to reverse just move the lever up until it hits the stop to sew the same stitch length in reverse.
