I have an Elna Carina Electronic Type 65 sewing machine which is more than 25 years old but sews great. I would like to purchase a double welting presser foot. Will any low shank presser foot work? I found an Elna snap on, however the website does not list my sewing machine (too old?). Are all Elna snap on presser feet interchangeable?
Snap-on feet will work as long as you have the correct snap-on shank for your machine. The only problem might be, for example if the snap-on foot is for a 5mm machine and you have a 9 mm machine, but that is unlikely in your case.
Yes, any low shank should work. If it doesn't you can always regift it to someone.

Is it possible that you've lowered the feed dogs and not raised them again? Is the stitch length dial set to 2.5 and not on a buttonhole blue setting or the Automatic "A" setting?

I can direct you to a service manual for your machine but it may be something that you need a trained Elna service technician to deal with.

I am more familiar with the SU air electronic where you just hold the outside of the flywheel and turn the inside knob to disengage and rengage the clutch - didn't realise the Carina had a button flywheel release until I looked in the service manual.
Anyway, you could try dismantling the flywheel following the exploded diagram in the service manual if you are technically minded.
Or just take it to a reputable serviceman, I'm a big fan to supporting these guys as their knowledge is invaluable.
