How to thread and use Elna SU sewing machine
Athough most likely not your model, threading instructions are pretty much the same for the majority of machines except in extreme cases. Of course, a manual for your machine would also be helpful, even just for the maintenance and use instructions.

Tip: ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the top thread. Always start out with a brand new needle (and change it at least every 8 hours of sewing time).

................

..

If your machine is mechanical (not computerized), it could very well benefit from a good cleaning and oiling, including the internal mechanical movement. Squeaking could be the feed dogs but could be a multitude of places.

When threading the machine, be sure to ALWAYS raise the presser foot. The fact that the top thread is breaking about 6 inches into the sewing indicates that the thread is catching somewhere. Sometimes, it catches on the thread notch on the thread spool. Other possibilities is that the thread is looped around something, ie the spool pin, a thread guide... Remove the thread entirely from the machine and rethread from the beginning.

were do i get a shuttle and bobbin from for my elnita 140 sewing machine

It's easy! Start from the thread holder at the top and go left - hook it under the hook which is behind the round disc that the bobbin winds around, then forward down thru the tension, then under the straight metal bit that's below and slightly to the left of the tension, then up into the hook (slide it behind and then slide forward into the hook), then back down and flip it into the small hook (which is just under the 'straight metal bit' mentioned above) and thru the needle! :-) Hope that helps. The machine might be an oldie but it's a goodie! cheers Lynda
