Elna Lotus SP bobbin case repair - Removing a cotton jam from a Elna Sewing machine

The bobbin case and hook is the same for all the older Swiss made models of Elna sewing machines. Don't remove any other screws but the holding screws. A setting for a sewing machine tension gauge will be 60g. For more info and answers please visit absolutesewingmachines.com/an...

[@johnkenner9273]

Vielen Dank für das deutliche Video, das mir sehr geholfen hat. Im Spulengehäuse hatten sich Flusen angesammelt und verfestigt. Der Oberfaden wurde bei schnellerem Nähen behindert.

[@katecosgrove2644]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@clusa3721]

Many thanks for your video. I would have just blowed away all that dust I saw there and also I would have put some oil but I guess that is in another of your videos. Many thanks again.

[@leewitte4580]

I am so glad I found this video!! Where can I find part number 401150 that is shown in the schematic? It is a tiny little washer, but the machine won't work without it!!! Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Thank you so much!

[@jmventor]

Super, Merci beaucoup!

[@dustycarter2729]

My lotus is unusable, cotton jammed under bobbin case. I managed to clear it easily after watching your wonderful vid but it immediately jams again with just one hand turn of the wheel, so I guess it’s something more serious.

[@yateentopiwala6895]

neddle clamp replacement vedio pls ur all vedio are helpful

[@paulinelister5868]

Great thank you for sharing. My lotus has stopped zig zaging and advice would be appreciated x

[@BanooParsi]

Woooo thanks a lot. So happy

[@kristeni7839]

Does your bobbin case move around at all after you've tightened the two screws?

[@Anonymous-wb6yj]

Thanks for the video. After removing the 2 screws I still couldn't lift out the bobbin case. It's jammed after it pulled a thick fiber of the material I was sewing. Help please. Thanks

[@llunadedia]

I removed a different screw and now it’s a mess 😩😩😩 Do you have a video to show how to put back everything in the right place?

[@dadapalo1128]

Hi! I have an Elna TX Electronic machine, but as far as I see, it is basically the same as this one. The horizontal spring next to the bobbin case came off yesterday. Could you please help me how to put it back? Where the two ends of the spring go? Thank you in advance! :)

[@sherrywascom6385]

my bobbin case fell apart when pulling a thread out Help!

[@Matilda52]

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!

[@AbsoluteSewing]

Have you tried to turn the hand wheel so the feed dog move down and more towards you?

[@Matilda52]

Thank you. I finally managed to move it somehow, by turning the hand wheel and jiggling everything. Thanks for your help @@AbsoluteSewing

[@capedoryus]

.79 in or 20.1 mm top and botton

[@thecosmicradiation]

Really helpful video, although it would have been good to see how to thread the bobbin again afterwards.

[@AbsoluteSewing]

***** Have a look at support.sewingnz.com/threading-the-elna-lotus-sp/ and you can find all the information you need and more.

[@BigButtocks967]

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.
