I was so excited I bought some Sulky thread at the Road to California to use in my free motion quilting. Everything seemed to be going fine, but then the thread started to break, so I changed my needle to a larger one. However, the whole needle holder came off the shaft and I think I broke my automatic needle threader in the process of putting the needle clasp back on. Now, I can't seem to find a replacement for my Elna 3210's auto needle threader :( I have emailed the Elna company and looked up Elna dealers in the area and will call them later today.

Unfortunately I do not have any thread knowledge to pass on to you. But I do feel your pain. Good luck with your repairs.

Oh no, I feel your pain! I broke my needle threader once but thank goodness my dealer replaced it under warrantee! Love my dealer. I would be lost with out it. I can not see to thread that needle any more!

Hi,

I'm not sure how far you are from Fresno but call Larry at ATS sewing machines at 559-222-9963. He's my Elna dealer and I'm pretty sure he can fix you up...he's really good and knows the Elnas!
