We have a second hand store here that sells used sewing machines. She sells Elna's that she takes and gets repaired. They are like a dream. I want to own one so badly. Maybe you can find a used store that would give you a good price for it. I mean, I really want this green Elna...I drool every time I go in there. I get paid on the first and hopefully it's still there. I might just buy it. But, I already have three machines, so I don't need it and I'm trying not to buy things because I drool over them. But we'll see what my brain says to me on the first.
