I have an Elna Air Electronic 68SU which is more than 25 years old but it sews beautifully with all the bells and whistles I would ever want. I also have my mom's old Kenmore 62 which I do not like, but only use as a backup if necessary, (which is very, very seldom). I am thinking of getting rid of this machine as I do not like being out of control. I am looking at the Janome 6600P which is similar in throat size to my Elna machine.
