20 Most Recent Elna 945 Computerized Sewing Machine - Page 4 Questions & Answers

These discs are either single or double discs, the doubles give forwards and backwards movement by the feed dogs moving the fabric as well as side to side movement of the needle. This gives you the "Supermatic" stitches, revolutionary in 1952 when Elna developed this technology. I'm assuming that you have a Supermatic (green) or Star Series SU (white with blue top) Elna model? your model will have a code number on the side plate by the power point, it may be 62 if its a Star, there is some variation in how you select the automatic stitches between these models but the basics are similar. Start first by turning the stitch width selector to zero and stitch length selector to zero.You need to insert the disc into the Elnagraph carefully, lining up the dot marking on the disc with the finger within the elnagraph, there is a little hole underside of the disc where this finger goes into to lock the disc in place. You now turn the stitch selector to "A" for automatic, and turn the stitch width to 4. Always turn your dials back to zero before removing the disc as there is a little feeler that swings over to "read" off the disc and you won't want to damage this.The very early Elna supermatic take a slightly different disc, the finger hole is slightly different to the later machines and they were removed using a little tool. Later models it got easier and you push the middle of the elnagraph silver ring to release the disc.I hope I haven't confused you more, you may want to join the Swiss Elna user group called Elna Heirlooms under yahoo.com groups, its a very helpful group of members and you should find a thread on these machines there.

what Make & Model ??

See if it is the same as this Elna 9000? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1261015/Elna-9900.html?page=27 ..

You need to take it in for service and 'timing'. Everything inside needs to happen at the right time and is adjustable. It only needs doing every couple of years.

Sounds like a timing issue of the bobbin hook.

CHECK FEED DOGS THEY HAVE TO BE IN THE UP POSITION

Is there any chance you may have somehow inadvertently changed the top thread or bobbin tension? Did you try rethreading your machine? I use only old machines so this may not be much help in a computerized machine.

See video, checking thread tension.
