How do I fix the tension on my Elna Stella air electronic sp?
The following is an excellent video on how to check tension. She shows how to check bobbin tension and top thread tension (presser foot down). Then how to adjust top thread tension to get the stich to sit at mid fabric.

Thread nesting on the bottom side is almost always top tension too low or top thread is not in the tension discs (when foot down) but can also be top thread not feeding evenly, or a burr on either the bobbin case or hook race or debris in the hook race, or needle hook interference.
Always be sure to thread your machine with presser foot up. With foot up, the tension discs are separated to accept the thread.
Dont know what type of fabric your curtains are. You might try test sewing with a different tight weave cotton fabric just to see if it you can get it to work.
Zig zag not working on Elna Carina seeing machine
If the zig zag function on your Elna Carina sewing machine is not working, there could be a few possible causes:
- Incorrect stitch selector: Make sure you have selected the correct stitch on your machine. Double check that you have selected the zig zag stitch, and not accidentally switched to another stitch.
- Incorrect stitch width: The stitch width knob on your machine controls the width of the zig zag stitch. Make sure that the stitch width is not set to zero, as this would prevent the zig zag function from working. Adjust the stitch width to the desired size.
- Tension issues: If the thread tension is too tight or too loose, it can affect the zig zag stitch. Check your thread tension to make sure it is set correctly.
- Clogged machine: Dust, lint, and debris can accumulate inside your sewing machine and affect its performance. Clean your machine thoroughly, including the bobbin area and the feed dogs.
If none of these solutions work, it may be necessary to have your machine serviced by a professional.

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.

I have an Elna 745 overlocker. that will not sew.
Hello. I have a 945, which has similar features, I believe. I had this problem as well, until I discovered that the safety features were preventing it working. 1) presser foot needs to be down, 2) needle clamp down, 3) the lower front cover perfectly closed. Perhaps this helps.
