SOURCE: Elna 9000 presser foot

This is a cleaning issue. There is gummy residue holding your presser foot bar which needs to be cleaned out. Unfortunately, you need to split the case on your machine to access it for cleaning and this is best done by a qualified technician. Let's face it, it's probably been a long time since the machine was serviced anyway and they do work better with regular servicing.

try visiting this website www.sewingpartsonline.com.au

tally_girl_1.jpg this is a generic style snap on blind hem foot, you fold the fabric into a upside down Z shape and run the top folded edge along the white guide with the fabric under the foot, hard to explain but once youve done it once, it makes sense.

Elna 9000 computer sewing machine. How do I set the presser foot to hold material between the foot and feeder dogs.

Check your owner's manual for presser foot pressure adjustment. Yours is probably set too lightly.

How do I change the presser foot on an elna mini sewing machine?

I dodn't know your model really well but it will be one of the following:
a clip on foot that you just pull down on to remove,
a clip on foot with a button at the back of the pressure foot holder - press the button to release the foot
a clip on foot with a little lever at the back of the pressure foot holder - lift the lever to release the foot
If it is a clip on foot, then you just need to raise the pressure foot lever, put your fingers onto the pressure foot and press downwards, it should unclip.

To put one on, place the pressure foot onto the needle plate under the pressure foot bar and lower the pressure foot bar down onto the foot, lining up the base of the foot holder with the little bar on the foot, it should click into place.

I purchased an Elna 7000 on E-Bay.Wonderful machine. I also purchased a 492000-20 walking foot for it. I can not find instructions on how to attach the walking foot to the machine.

I'm assuming that this is a generic style walking foot for low shank machines and it will fit your Elna?
To attach it, you will see a long lever arm at the front of the foot and the little curved bracket at the back of the foot.

Remove your usual foot and the clip on foot holder by undoing the thumb screw. Now fit the walking foot on instead by putting the lever arm around the needle bar and the curved bracket around the pressure bar and then putting the thumb screw back into place and screw up tight to hold the foot in place. Now lower the pressure foot and manually wind your machine forward a few stitches. As the needle bar goes up and down, it should move the long lever arm too which works the walking foot teeth gripping the top layer of fabric with each stitch.

Trust this helps.

GOOD DAY, THE ELNA 9000 WHICH I HAVE JUST BOUGHT 2ND HAND HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRESSSURE FOOT HANDLE. IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE, BUT KEEPS ON FALLING DOWN, AS IF A SPRING IS WORN OUT AND THE COTTON MAKES...

No pressure being applied to the pressure foot and therefore the fabric between it and the feed dogs means no feeding of the fabric.

The pressure foot has a spring up inside the head of the machine and this is probably broken causing this fault.

I would suggest that you take the machine to your local SM service technician..
