Elna Quilter's Dream 6003Q Questions & Answers
Elna 6003Q Sewing Machine won't snap out of bobbin winding mode
I had the same problem and fixed it myself. Remove the portion of the housing that coincides with the bobbin winder. You will need to remove two screws to do this--one is just to the upper left of the bobbin winder itself, and one is hidden under the handle on the left side of the machine (lift the handle, and look on the machine on the left side.) It takes some coaxing to remove the housing, but it can be done--be gentle. If you need to, remove the housing on the left side of the machine that covers the needle assembly. This will make it a bit easier, but still, be gentle.)
After removing the housing, you will see a black metal piece with a elongated slot and a screw adjacent to the bobbin winder mechanism. Unscrew the screw a turn or two, and slide the piece to the other side. Tighten gently. Turn your machine on, and move your bobbin winder back and forth and watch the screen change from bobbin winding to the main straight stitch screen. Now, do a brief Dance of Joy. I hope this helps.
Step motor error
One of the stepper motors has failed. The machine has two stepper motors: one that moves the needle back and forth and one that moves the feed. Take it to your dealer for an estimate.

Hm, wondering if it could be the presser foot pressure setting. Most machines have this capability where the amount of pressure applied to the feed dogs can be increased or decreased. You might check your owner's manual,.
Elna 6003 just stopped working
Something caught inside the machine and jammed the mechanism. It blew a fuse to protect the circuit board. A competent Elna or Janome Dealer should be able to get you machine going in no time.I don't know of any reason to have trouble finding parts for this machine.

Can I download a free Quilter's dream Elna parts & repair manual
Repair manuals are difficult to find as they were issued only to repair service personnel. Sometimes you can find a used manual for sale or uploaded, but it is very rare. However, sometimes if you search for the:
Make + Model + the words "parts diagram"
you may find a picture of the parts and what order they are placed in the machine.

Repairing bobbin thread uptake
Make sure you are using a brand new needle. Bent/dull/damaged needles sometimes will not connect with bobbin thread.
If it still does not pick up the bobbin thread, then it most likely is a timing issue (the needle arrives at the wrong time to intercept the bobbin thread). There are web sites and videos online that discuss sewing machine timing. Or you can take it for service.
Repair manuals are difficult to find as they were issued only to repair service personnel. Sometimes you may find one for sale or even uploaded, but that is rare.

Is there a special type of monofilament thread to use?
I would suggest that you don't use this thread, it is too fine for the tension device on a domestic sewing machine, and they just don't like it. Too strong, too fine. Its best used in industrial blind hemming machines, if you look at RTW trouser hems you'll often see monofilament utilised here.
Do I need to oil an Elna 6003Q sewing machine?
Yes, in the middle of the bobbin case there may be a little hole with a wick below it where a drop of oil can be placed. Much of the internals are now self lubricating or designed for the tech to libe during the recommended annual service
