Help needed on Elna Supermatic made in Switzerland machine
Can someone please help me as i need help on Elna Supermatic made in Switzerland machine which i received from a old lady? I am a neewbie in sewing, but started this hobby recently. The machine worked very well, but a few days ago it just stopped sewing. I searched on Google what the might be, and discovered the pinion hook gear was damaged. My father took it off and i bought a new one. On the one which he took out, had a pin in, but the one i bought, didn't have a pin. We replaced it back, but ever since, i broke 9 needles already. I was told from a guy at the sew shop, the timing is out. Can someone please assist me on fixing my machine, for i dont have money to take it to a mechanic?
