Make sure you are not using velcro with adhesive, that will really mess up the stitching. Otherwise, be sure to use a larger needle, like a #14 or larger. Also, be sure the needle is brand new and sharp!

What foot and setting do I need to sew strips of bias binding together.

If you are sewing bias strips end to end, any foot would work. A 1/4" seam allowance is probably fine. You'll probably just need to cut the ends @ 45 degree angles and match them up before stitching. Sewing them at 90 degree angles creates a big bulk of fabric whereas 45 degree angles spread the bulk out when applied to your cushion fabric.

Flashing red light

Are you sure you have turned the foot button underneath the machine back to normal stiching and also then again for embroidary and have you placed the protective cover back for normal stiching once you removed the embroidary arm.

Elna SU missing stiches and breaking thread

it sounds like the needle hook timing is out. You need to get the needle in the lowest position and measure the gap from the needle to the hook point on the bobbin shuttle. It should be 1/4". You will need to remove the foot and foot plate to be able to see. I use a 1/4" drill bit as a gauge. If you need to adjust it, you will need to remove the free arm cover to the right of the foot and loosen the 2 allen head screws that hold the drive gear. Adjust the gap, tighten the screws and retry. Usually if the needle catches the thread to early, it will make a bad stitch and the upper thread will break. If it catches to late, it will make thread loops and the machine will skip stitches. Good luck, these are a good machine and worth fixing. Phil
