My "back-up" machine is an Elna 7200. I've had it for several years and I still love it. It's much less finicky than my Bernina 820 and I often use it when I'm using thread the Bernina doesn't like. It has a good sized harp for quilting bed-size quilts and the alphabet letters are much prettier than the Bernina's. I use it to make all my labels. I recently purchased a light-weight Janome to take to classes and all the attachments are interchangeable with the Elna.
