Well you saved me. thank you for this well done tutorial.

Hey I have an Elna 3003, do you what year this machine was brought out?

What if it doesn't pop out when you press the knob?

What make is the coat? Looked very nice when finished. Great job!

You missed several oil spots... not good for the machine. I learned to sew on my Granny's, 1952 solid dark green Elna, I have a 1954 Tan Supermatic.

Tengo dificultad a la hora de utilizar los discos.

Necesito que sean en español los tutoriales d las máquinas Elna supermatic del 1952

Stunning

Video quality so low it's hard to see the details.

I love the changes you made to the shoulders and neckline. You actually fixed this pattern

Thank you for this tutorial it was one of the only ones I could find! Even though it was a little fuzzy and hard to find the second indent, we were able to figure it out. Helped my mom out a ton.

Can you make an embroidery demonstration of this machine? Please

i recently got the all green 1953 Elna machine, just watched a video of a machine like yours stitching through 8 oz leather like butter, can you tell me if (when fixed up), the one i have should be able to do leather as well?

Hermoso!!!❤❤❤

NOT Clockwise

Love the way you did the shoulder part.

I love the dress. The choice of fabric is great.

Can't see anything. It's out of focus and not enough zoom. And the bobbin was moving counter-clockwise, at least as we the viewers saw it. Much better tutorials for that here on youtube.

What’s the link to the replacement zipper ?

Love the blue and green colors rather than the red. Just beautiful 💙💙💙

I have a white lamb jacket that has some teeth missing in the zipper. I want it replaced but am afraid that I will have the old stitch holes visible. Can it be replaced using the same stitch holes as the original jacket. It is beautiful soft lamb and white!

You go girl absolutely beautiful.

The neckline is amazing!!!! Just starting this dress!!!

Absolutely beautiful! 🦋

What kind of zipper is it? Is there a name brand. I need a heavy duty like the one in your video. Thank you

So leather shouldn’t be to much of a problem?

Big and UGLY?! I think they are much more attractive than all NEW GARBAGE.

It looks like you removed and replaced the zipper stop at the top. How did you replace it?

I have been trying to put a zipper in a jacket which has about a 4 inch flap that goes over the zipper with snaps. The zipper has to go on the side with the flap and I have no idea how this can work. Just so frustrated. I am about ready to give up.

I appreciate your information. Because I’m in a hurry to get on with my sewing in a world where there never seems to be enough time, I found the first third of your discourse where no actual instruction is happening unnecessarily time consuming. Otherwise, thanks.

I learned to sew as a child on my mother's Elna Supermatic and now that I sew myself (many years later), it was interesting to see the machine up close once again. My mom is 88 years old and still has her Elna even though she hasn't sewn for many years now. One of these days when I'm visiting her, I'll have to sit down and try out her machine again.

I never thread behind that bar above the tension assembly.

Image is too blurry to be of any use, too much elementary chatter (get to the point), and camera angle should be from the perspective of the sewer.

I enjoyed your video, except for the music in the background, it was way too loud. Tutorial videos do not need music, the instructions get lost in the sound.

Thank you! It helped with my recently acquired Zig Zag. My first experience with Elna and it is like Formula 1! I had never seen a machine run so fast and It was a thick cloth. I will have to watch more videos.

HI , having a problem, the machine does not move, what would be the problem?

Your showing me backwards, from the back side of the machine and I load my bobbin from the front side of the machine. I can’t follow this at all.

Porfavor en español

this music is very irritating!

3-in-1 is TERRIBLE for sewing machines. This is the worst advice on the internet. Only sewing machine oil should be used. 3-in-1 will gum it up. The grinding sound is probably due to a flat spot on the friction drive pulley-- it goes flat when the machine sits unused.

Can I send you my leather jacket to you? I just need the none slider zipper replace..🙏

Needs verbal explanations, please

Wow! impressive and clean finish work

Thank you for your videos! They helped convince me to go vintage. I am wondering, since there doesn't appear to be a "straight stitch" cam, does that mean that this machine sews a straight stitch WITHOUT any cams installed?

Yes please! If you are good just show a grown man to sew. I wanna Swiss army knife.

Video better on fast foward. Too much talking not enough teaching. You didn’t even show us you sewing it, so wasted my time watching. Sorry but corrective criticism could really help make this video better.

Do you know of a repair location for these old 1956 ELNA's? Thanks.

You are killing me. I am watching videos for ideas on how to repair the zippers in my 29 year old leather jacket. To see you tearing at that old leather I was cringing, later on you say you ripped the leather a bit. I assure you it matters, leather jackets become a part of a persons life journey. It is not like other pieces of clothing. My motorcycle jacket i am going to have to trust that someone will take as much care as possible in repairing the inside liner, zippers and repair the collar retaining as much or the original jacket as possible. " i probably shouldn't have sone that"'pulling at the delicate leather. Do you think??? How long does it take to tell yourself oops i was impatient working on what holds high value to you..lady, treat leather like something that you value. They trusted your ability. Take your adhd meds before talking such an important job, I am beside myself at your indifference.

Clockwise????? You pulling anticlock surely

so, those little silver “buttons” are not actually buttons, they are button stops. They are used when switching back and forth between forward and reverse, to assist with keeping your stitch length uniform. The only functional button is the black one, which needs to be placed on “A” in order to use double cams (stretch and pattern stitches that use automatic reverse stitching). To move the button away from “A” and back to normal sewing, you need to depress it. It can be turned clockwise (lengthens stitch) or counter clockwise (shortens stitch) to minimize distortion in pattern stitches.
