Necchi Electra SX4000?
Hubby and I picked up a pristine Necchi Electra SX4000 yesterday at an estate sale. I am coming up with next to nothing about it on a Google search. Do any of you wise folks known anything about them?

Did you get a manual and bobbins? I did some research and it looks like it is similar to a Morse 9500 and Necchi 543. It has an interesting bobbin case and evidently the bobbins for it are the ones that will fit Singer 306 & 319.
Threading for the Morse are at http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_diagram.htm It doesn't say exactly (or in a manner I can understand easily) which direction the thread goes, but I would guess that it goes over the top, from front to back.
Did you see http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...g-t254070.html It looks like Margaret still had some problems. I'm wondering though if it might need to use a stack wound thread or a thread stand for the cross wound thread.

That's the same one I have. I had it serviced and then never used it. Didn't know it needed a different kind of bobbin, or is it just the case that's different? I suppose I should get it out and look at it again. Mine looks great, too, maybe because no one could ever sew on it! Hopefully yours will be better than mine.

I didn't think you sounded negative. I completely understand! I am recovering from an awful cold myself. I should have bought stock in Kleenex as much as I used. �� Feel better soon!
