I'd never worked on an Elna before this one, but now I'm a convert. This machine runs smooth as glass and makes a perfect stitch. And then there's the cuteness factor!
The knee lever folds down to work, folds back up and stores in the case when you're not sewing. The accessory box fits snugly behind the freearm for storage.
And it all fits inside the case... which becomes an extension table when sewing. All very nicely thought out.
The handwheel is at the bottom on this machine--a first for me.
Lots of stuff in the accessories box, bobbins and screwdrivers and brushes and thumbscrews, as usual. And feet: darning, zipper, hemmer, straight-stitch, a hinged one I'm not sure about. Also a feed-dog cover plate and the black cam-looking thing is a low-gear that you can use to slow the machine down.
I'm told these machines are more common in Western Canada. I sure don't see them in my stomping grounds (southern U.S.), so was excited and delighted to win this one on that auction place, and have it arrive in reasonable condition.
