SOURCE: I have a old Elna
Is this the duplex model with the base that fits into a sewing cabinet?
My Elna booklet lists a SP "air electronic" duplex (CL.39), if so, then it would be same stitches as the 38, yellow front panel, 7 built in stitches and automatic knob with blue markings for buttonholing.
Here is the SU manual images for buttonholing, should be exactly the same for the SP.
Instructions are:
use buttonhole foot. turn the 3 dials to buttonhole marked in blue (stitch selection, width and length).
Mark length of buttonhol on the material. Place work under foot with the mark in the middile fo the foot, the start being directly below the needle. sew the first side, raise the needle. Turn stitch width dial to 2, blue. Sew a few stitches for bartack. Raise the needle.
Turn stitch width dial to 3 blue. sew the second side. stop just short of the first side. Raise the needle.
turn the stitch width dial to 4 blue. sew a few stitches for bartack. Raise the needle.
Turn stitch width dial to "fastening off stitch" blue dot. Sew a few stitches, holding back the material by hand. Raise needle, lift pressure foot and remove work, triming off threads.
Open the buttonhole with your seam ripper (put a pin across the end to avoid any nasties).
SOURCE: What make of walking foot
You need a low shank style walking foot. Even back in the 80's when your SU air electronic was new, the walking foot sold by Elna was an after market one, and not made by Tavaro. Same with the ruffler attachment, it was after market and actually fitted quite a few makes of machine.
I would just ask the dealer/shop if they will refund your money if you find it doesn't work just in case.
There is a low shank one on sewingpartsonline.com
http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/walking-foot-low-shank-p60444.aspx and they list the SU as compatible with it.
Take off the foot holder on your mache, and you need to fit the little open ended arm over the needle bar and the foot bracket onto the foot with your machine's regular thumb screw. The up and down movement of the needle bar operates the walking foot.
SOURCE: Elna Carine Electronic Sewing Machine
You should be able to buy a manual online but it may be a cd or image pdf file. Try www.sewingpartsonline.com or www.sewusa.com. If they don't have the Carina but have the Air Electronic SU, model 68 then this will be almost the same. Main difference is the Carina has the needle up/down button.
Here is threading up images to get you started.
SOURCE: i need a manual for the elna stella air electronic type 57 sewing machine
You could try www.diplodocs.com or www.scribed.com, I think I've seen it on one of those sites. Is the 57 the TX model? If so, its got the most stitches of the Stella models, there was the ZZ, TSP, SP and TX, nice machine. If you can't find a free one you should be able to buy one from one of the sites like www.sewingpartsonline.com or www.whitesewingcenter.com
