I did see a straight stitch plate on the Elna site, but I didn't purchase it because I have two straight stitch machines set up and the Necchi sews the same good stitch they Elna has. miriam, Miss Elna has made hundreds of baby items. I like the little ducks and the little flowers for receiving blanket edges and the double needle makes a nice trim, too. My grandaughter liked the adjustable presser foot on the Elna. She even offered me $37 for her. Not!
