Be sure you hand-wind the bobbin with the elastic thread. You may also need to loosen the bobbin tension a bit if the elastic thread is stretching too much while stitching.

This link no longer seems to exist:
http://www.euro-pro.com/europro/default.aspx

This link sells the manual (language not specified, but the contents are given in English) for $8.00 (U.S.)
http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/32241226-euro-pro-9110-sewing-machine-manual

I cannot find a free english download - lots of broken links and circular links, though, since
"Euro-Pro" seems to have been bought by SharkClean.com, and their web site
http://www.sharkclean.com offers no support (manuals or otherwise) for any sewing machine.

We need to know the model number. Is it a Memory Craft 3000 or 9000? Another model number? Also, be prepared that as a Janome you will probably have to pay for the manual IF it is even found. They are tough to find.

Get back to me with a comment back on the model number and I can do a specified web-wide search. I've also got a number of specific sites I use to look for free sewing manual downloads, but Janome's are tough ones to find. I promise to leave no stone unturned, though! That's a nice gift to get!

there a bunch of sites selling this manual but i'd suggest you try the manufacturer first

Look on page 46 of your manual and you will see the correct way to satin stitch. Also, you should use a stabilizer, like interfacing or good old fashioned gift tissue paper. If, you don't have your manual handy, download one for free at www.singerco.com and it will tell you how to clean and oil your machine, change your needle. Your machine should not be noisy, try placing it on a towel if you are on a hard surface. Good luck, it is not hard, you just need a little practice on some scrap material.

I would use a 11/75 needle, then a walking foot if you have one. If, you do not, use some gift tissue paper between layers, or stabilizer. Keep your stitches between 10-12 per inch. Regular fabrics, just your usual stitches that your manual recommends. If, you misplaced your manual go to www.singerco.com and download a free one and save it on your computer.

You can get the manual on link below # 82. Sorry there is no free one.
