Go to the Elna website and look up by model number for tips and to see what might be causing the problems. I have 3 Elnas (mid range, high range quilting machine, and an embrodery machine) Sometimes the person working on them loosed the tension/pressure foot pressure and there's a simple fix. Just love my three. They are out of my house until my roof is fixed.
