Thanks from France!

What size of Timing Belt it is?

13 years later. This video saved my pants repair! Now the reverse works perfect again. Got it free with the hair dryer and put a drop of oil. All good 💪💪💪

Bought a used Elna super. The needle centering dial is in the wrong position. Almost impossible to move the dial. The needle is centered when the dial is all the way to the right. Can I re-center the dial?

Does this also apply to the 6030?

I want to buy a needle plate for Toyota overlocker model 3304 if you can help thanks

I know this video is really old but I'm desperate... I have this exact problem but don't know how to fix it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKSmeoKDbKehbrcsi=YMHgus5u30EVZtmF&t=288 Could someone please help me

Thank you ❤ Machine is back to purring after removing 5 very small lumps of oily dust. Amazing how something so small can stop a machine from working.

This is great. ❤

Hi, my old Husvarna sews only reverse. I can't pull the reverse button up after oiling it. What should I do on the back of the machine? Watched some videos but didn't quite understand, maybe because I was not sure in which way their machine's reververse button was stucked (in or out). Could you help me. Instruck me as if you would instruck to a child. (I'm not an English speaker.) Thanks!

Thanks for the video. This helped me diagnose an issue with an old Elna TX Electric. 👍

Hello. I have a husqvarna optima 190 sewing machine, suddenly it started to work itself without pressing the pedal and smoke started to come out, I wonder what is the problem that causes this. When I looked at the circuit board, I saw that two capacitors had exploded. I would be very grateful if you could help me

I'm trying to open my Husqvarna and don understand how...

Followed your instructions for loosening the two correct screws to release the bobbin case on my Elna ZZ. The bobbin case wiggles just a bit but cannot be removed. The screws are loose and twirl in place. Do you think the screws are somehow stripped? What else could be holding the bobbin case in place?

I have an elna su. The capacitor has 4 wires. The capacitor blew up. I disconnected it. The machine ran perfectly for a few minutes. Then the motor slowed and seemed to lose power. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Thank you beautifully explained & i cleaned out the bobbin case that had cotton caught in it. Saved me $’s much appreciated 😃

Can you show me how to disassemble the upper tension disc, as the spring is compressed

Thank you for this ^_^

Thanks for the clear video, but now my machine only sews in reverse. Any suggestions?

Hello there, does anyone know what year the Elna 3003 came out? Mine is second hand so may have to know how to maintain it. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this - really helpful. Much appreciated.

Can you show me how to replace the belts on the model 900?

A waste of time.. it's impossible to read the text it's too blurred

But you are not oiling an Elnita! You are oiling an Elna machine!

4:47 - Very useful photo. If your lighting and camera focus were better, this would have been an exceptional video. We cannot see much. Also best to clean out machine when explaining. These videos are hugely useful in rescuing beautiful machines that should be in service not the despair of owners. I believe two things create problems: 1. All models which are self oiling have sticky gear issues. The sponge soaked with oil becomes gummy, the oil gums up the gears and shafts. These models need periodic cleaning out with alcohol then lubing with Triflow Synthetic silicone oil, NOT 3-in-1 machine oil that gums up. Sewing machine oil is fine too. 2. Camstack - the device that allows mounting of embroidery cams, is cracked on every machine. I suspect this is due to the hot incandescent bulb that is so hot that you can burn your hand on the cover. Even at 25 watts, too much heat to be near plastic parts. Switch over to LED bulb 'BA15D 4014 80 LED' or something similar. It needs to be a double contact (two contact points on base), bayonet mount (2 prongs sticking out), push-in type (no screw threads on base). Easy to find on Amazon. Some come without covers, some have glass or plastic covers, and some have the LED embedded in clear silicone so feels rubbery to touch, very novel! I like the silicone ones, no breakage or light distortion. Just measure overall length. A bit over or under on length is okay. But you must change the bulb to stop the heat damage. The light is whiter, brighter, and illuminates work area marvelously. Use alcohol, or a combo mix of 50:50 alcohol:mineral spirits to clean out oily residue. Do NOT use Carburetor Cleaner or Acetone - very corrosive on plastic parts and super toxic to breathe. Toothbrush, you don't need spray. A narrow bottle brush from Harbor Freight is also useful - dip and scrub. Wipe off with paper towels. When all cleaned out, with heat and brushing, oil up with Triflow. This works beautifully.

My pfaff sewing machine 230 the chain of the machine is broken I want to replace

Thanks for this. Any idea why my cog belt would be popping off? I feel like there is a bit of play in the big cog wheel. Anything I can check easily at home, or is it best to just take it in for servicing?

Hello, I thought I already wrote a comment,.. couldnt find it. at second 13, for one minute your're working with that white plastic-thing.... .... what is it called? and how does it chance (resistance?) for acceleration of the sewing-machine? I hope you can help me out with this questions, because I have such a sewing-machine and the foot-pedal broke. Now I cant afford to buy a new pedal vor 100$ ! So I hope I can repair it, if I find out how it works. your Mom.

This style of elna bobbin case is without doubt the worst design iv ever seen. It ruins the whole experience of sewing with the machine.

Thank you! I was about to have a mental breakdown. I had bumped the little lever inside.

I have now managed to open it by sending pictures to my son. He pointed out, that I needed to take the circlips off, which was extremely difficult and fiddly ! I cut the wire as instructed, and my machine is now like new ! Thank you !

Very interesting ! All well and good, except for a few things. My foot control for my ELNA 5000, type P 500, has not got a screw on the side. I took the grey cover strip off, and I’m unable to locate the clip you are talking about, to enable the rod holding the two parts together to be removed ! So now, at 78, I’m frustrated and hot and bothered, because I thought I had a solution to my problem. Can you suggest anything, as I can not see any clips. I’d send pictures, but there isn’t the facility so to do.

I am trying to replace the rotary hook cover on my Elna TX Electronic - the cover plate. I can see you doing it very easily in the video at 3.45, but can't quite make out what you are saying - something like "You might have to move the feet up... to move it down" How do I get those feet to move out of the way, please!

O bought this machine new in the 80's. It has been sitting around for 40 years. I cant seem to get yhe rod that the presser foof is attached to to move up or down. The lever moves unobstructed but it doesn't seem to be attached to anything the foot just hangs in the same position snd wont drop down. Any suggestions?

How did you open the foot pedal? I can't figure it out and I have a short somewhere.

My needle keeps getting stuck after about 5 stitches i dont know why. Ive changed needles, double checked my threading and checked to see that the bobbin is inserted correctly. What am I missing?

Worked like a charm! Thank you, it saved me from buying a new machine!

I am so happy to have found this video.... problem solved ! THANKS🌺🙏

thank you

🤩

Great video. Do you know the maximum resistance of what I believe is a sliding pot inside the foot pedal? There is probably a switch combined, how about the topology inside the pedal with regard to the three terminals of the jack? Much appreciated if you can help with this.

Thank you! Exactly the problem! I was afraid to take it apart til I saw your video cheers and thank you for this!

My Bob and jams and I need help

THANK YOU - cut that stiff wire with the orange thing and now it doesn’t sew like it’s possessed! What is it and what purpose did it serve before it got faulty?

Sorry, but I can see nothing. I can see a big bottle and your hand, that’s all. I would have loved to see the places where the oil drops should be placed. Too bad!

Thank you very much for posting this. My machine started sewing as soon as I plugged the foot in and I couldn’t stop it. I cut thé little wire and it’s working perfectly now. 😅

This video is just what I need but there’s no voice and the printing is small I can’t read it even with a magnifying glass😢😢😢

Fantastic- cured my machine not feeding having not used it for many years. Top work! Thanks ❤
