Stopped by a quit shop in Arthur, IL and they had the bobbins for my Elna 8000. She said that it was Swiss made. They also work on them if I ever need any help with it.

The bobbins were 20 cents apiece so I got 20 to start with. Should have gotten a bobbin holder so I can keep them apart from the Singer.

Sounds like a great resource:)

I have an Elna 6001 (i think is the #). Never once had a problem with it. Sew's great :)
