I have an Elna, "Jubye" (my be Tuby-e). It was purchased in 1998. It has been used rarely.
I have had it fixed twice and my local machine repair person says he
has fixed it, however it is continuing to have the same problem. When I
sew, the bobbin's thread wraps around the inner bobbin compartment,
then causes the tension on the top thread to become taut and break. I
then have a huge glob of thread on the underside of my garment and I
have to sever that to release the garment, then cut the 20+ thread
cluster in the bobbin compartment. I will try to sew again and then it
will happen after about 2 inches of sewing. I have adjusted the thread
tension, tried different fabrics and had my machine maintenanced
(oiled/cleaned) recently. Do you have any suggestions? I am ready to
throw the machine out the window, into the street and run over it with
someone else's car. Thank you! Amy Urban in Austin TX
