Require operating manual for elna 2005 - Elna 2005 Mechanical Sewing Machine

A special stretch stitch is not required to sew stretchy fabric. All one needs is a zig-zag that is wide enough and close together enough to allow the fabric to stretch without breaking the stitching thread. (Test it on a piece of scrap fabric you are using, give it a good tug and see if the thread breaks.)

NOTE: be sure to use a ball-point needle. A sharp needle will tend to cut the fabric threads and your stretch fabric will eventually develop holes and runs commonly found in knits.

There doesn't appear to be a manual for your machine, however, you can usually find a manual close to your machine model and the instructions will be similar enough to suffice. Perhaps you will find one with instructions for sewing stretch fabric:

ELNA Other manuals

...

a operation manual will not so how to time the machine, what your
talking about is a service manual and elna does not sell them,,
only their sewing machine technicans have them, the machine
would have to be taken to a sewing machine repair shop for
timing or any other adjustments.

I know this question was posted a long time ago, but just in case anyone else has the same problem thought I'd share this: it's from the instruction manual for the Elna 2003, 2005, 2007.

Hi there,
you can download an instruction manual for your machine from this link
http://www.arizonaexpressionz.com/elna_instruction_manuals/2003-2005-2007_instruction_Manual_En.pdf
This manual covers three models - the 2003, 2005 and 2007, just read carefully when looking at specific functions - the manual will state which models differnet functions apply to.

To obtain a new foot control and power cord:

Firstly check that the machine is the same voltage as the power supply for the country you are in. Check plate on the right side, usually near the power inlet plug. This will state model, serial number and voltage. Make a note of these details.

Then go to this page http://www.elna.com/?country=246
and choose your country, then go to the page "contact us" and ring Elna head office in your country. They should be able to give you a price and availability on the foot control and power lead or direct you to a local dealer who can sell you these items.

There is also several good sewing parts and info websites:
www.sewingpartsonline.com and www.sewusa.com for USA
and www.sewingparts.co.uk for UK
however I can't see the items you require on these sites so best to contact Elna direct. However, you may find other accessories such as bobbins for sale on one of these sites.

I trust that this assists you: 4 thumbs up please if so. All the best with getting to know your 2005.
cheers

hi! click here for the manual http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/30879220-elna-2003-2005-2007-sewing-machine-instruction
Thank you for using fixya. I hope I had helped you with your problem. May you have a good day!

Hi. I've searched a number of my sources for a manual for your machine, but the closest I could find is for the 2002-2004-2006 models at http://www.mastersewusa.com/info_elna_2002_2004_2006.html

Threading should be similar enough between your machine and the ones covered in this manual that you can see what's going wrong.

Hope this helps!

Robbie
