Thank you Cybrarian and Plumtree. There aren't as many reviews on the web as there are for other branded machines. It seems that there must not be as many owners either. I wonder if they have less of a US presence than Janome, Viking, Pfaff, etc... ?
I had been pretty set on the Viking Sapphire 875Q until I saw the Elna. All that throat space makes the Sapphire look tiny in comparison. It's only an inch bigger in each direction but the machine is also bulkier. And, the Elna comes with the integrated walking foot, 3 FMQ feet, 1/4" piecing foot, quilting extension table, knee lift, etc..... That's when I changed my mind!
