Hmmm, I've been coveting the one a gal brings to class because it's so quiet. I was mainly planning on it for piecing. Do you have a walking foot with yours? I do have some vintage machines that just won't quilt. For example, my White Fair Lady is an awesome straight stitch, but won't take my generic walking foot....so no quilter there. And I have a couple that will skip a couple of stitches every now and then putting on a machine binding(using a zig zag). Changing needles doesn't help, they just don't like to go through the bulk of the binding and quilt. Once I know their pluses and minuses, I'm o.k.
I've heard this is an amazing Elna, though.
