Recently I was asked how to thread the Elna Contessa 400. As I result I created some diagrams, which I thought might be of use to others so I will share them here.

Threading - overview

Close-up of needle threading

In the top threading images above, the red arrows point to the thread guides and the black line shows the approximate path of the thread. Click on the images to see them and the instructions larger.

How to wind a bobbin

The path of the thread for bobbin winding is show in blue. There was actually no bobbin winder on this machine when the image was taken, consequently the grey block that I added is where it should be.
The bobbin case of this machine threads as they do on most machines, hold the bobbin case in your left hand, with the open end facing to the right. Hold the bobbin in your right hand with the end of the thread going away from you. Put the bobbin in the bobbin case and pull the thread through the slot in the bobbin case and under the tension spring. That's the bobbin case threaded.
As usual, if you have any questions, drop me a line and I will do my best to answer them!

NOTE: Motors and electronic parts warranty.
We test all motors and electronic parts for proper operation before shipping, so we know they are working before we ship them. I refunded the last new $400.00 circuit board after the customer connected the wires incorrectly and returned a fried piece of junk. Never again.
A new motor can be fried when it is overworked from installing it in a machine that is binding and has not been properly cleaned BEFORE installing the motor.
A new circuit board may be fried instantly when connected to other malfunctioning components that may be in your machine. We cannot guarantee lightning won't strike your home and fry the new circuit board. We can no longer assume responsibility for untrained mechanics or replace or refund circuit boards, motors and other electronic parts that are damaged by improper installation or any other circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, I can no longer offer any refund or guarantee on any electrical product after I ship it. You break it or burn it up, and you own it.

Prices for these Elna motors include exchange of your old motor.
Add $50.00 core charge to the prices below if you are not sending your old motor with the order.
Your $50.00 core charge will be refunded upon receipt of your old motor.

New manufacturer and higher quality. Most belts sold elsewhere are cheap stock size belts, too short and too stiff to work properly. This will cause your Elna to run slowly, overheat and wear the motor bushings. We have these belts custom made to the original length and stretch for the best performance of your model 50 Elna # 1.
Many Elna machines run slowly due to old gummy oil. If your Elna runs slowly, then picks up speed after a few minutes, gummy oil deposits are the culprit. Replacing the oil with Tri-Flow lubricant helps dissolve these deposits for a free running machine.
I highly recommend ordering the # TF-2 Tri-flow lubricant (below) to improve the performance of your Elna # 1.

# TF-2 --- Tri-flow lubricant with teflon. 2 ounce bottle with a 4' extension tube applies one tiny drop to lubricate and free up gummy parts. ----$6.00

Part # TF-2

# NK-WO--Refillable oil bottle with 4 inch extendable brass spout to reach those tight spots. The empty bottle may be filled with lubricant of your choice. Customers love it. ----------$5.00

Following is a description of cam stitches provided by a blind sewing friend, Joyce Kane, who was kind enough to share with others and gave permission for me to print her list here . Joyce sews many beautiful things for her family and friends entirely by 'feel'. The Elna cam stitches are sewn on card stock, without thread. The needle holes in the finished card are much like braille. The card and cam are bar coded, which allows Joyce to choose the correct cam without being able to 'see' it. My sincere thank you to my friend, Joyce, for her contribution.
