Why is my ELNA 6005 heirloom edition Sewing Machine skipping stitches?

  Julia PhelpsAug 2, 2025
  Skipping stitches on your ELNA Sewing Machine can occur for several reasons. It might be due to the needle not being inserted properly, so ensure it's correctly placed. A bent or worn needle can also cause this, so try changing it. Make sure the machine is correctly threaded. The needle or thread might be inappropriate for the fabric; use the recommended type. If sewing stretch fabric, use a No. 11 blue tip needle. Weak presser foot pressure can also lead to skipped stitches; adjust the presser bar level to increase the pressure. Finally, the needle bar height, needle to shuttle timing, or clearance between the needle and hook may be inappropriate.

  If the fabric isn't moving through your ELNA Sewing Machine, it could be due to several reasons. Check the presser foot pressure; if it's too weak, adjust the presser bar level to increase the pressure. Ensure the feed dog is in the up position by raising the feed dog level. Also, check for jammed thread on the bottom side of the fabric. Make sure to bring both needle and bobbin thread under the foot when starting sewing.

What to do if the upper thread keeps breaking on my ELNA 6005 heirloom edition?

  If the upper thread is breaking on your ELNA Sewing Machine, several factors could be the cause. Avoid starting with too fast sewing speed, begin with a medium speed. Ensure the thread path is correct. A bent or dull needle can cause thread breakage, so replace it. If the upper thread tension is too strong, adjust it correctly. Using an inappropriate needle size for the fabric can also lead to this issue, so use the appropriate needle. Also, check if the needle eye is worn and change the needle if needed. Finally, a worn or burred needle hole in the needle plate may be the problem; repair the hole or replace the needle plate.

Why does the bobbin thread keep breaking on my ELNA 6005 heirloom edition Sewing Machine?

  If the bobbin thread keeps breaking on your ELNA Sewing Machine, it might be due to several reasons. Ensure the bobbin is threaded correctly. If there's too much thread on the bobbin, adjust the position of the stopper. Lint stuck inside the bobbin holder can also cause this, so clean the hook race. Low thread quality may be the issue, so change to a high-quality sewing thread. Also, check for thread jamming around the bobbin and clean it out.
