P.S. The only thing that might be the problem is if it is a machine that came from Europe and is set to run 220 but just had wires changed out for American plugs. That would be a problem but you could get a transformer.
I do have an Elna that had an European plug and a switch on the bottom of the machine to change it from 220 to 110 and it had an adapter on the plug for American outlets. The wire had a short so I switched it and have had no problems with it.
