Early Christmas Present!
My DH bought me a new sewing machine for Christmas .... an Elna 740 eXcellence!!!!!
This machine is so BIG and beautiful ... the throat-space is a whole 11 INCHES!!!!
And it comes with 17 different feet ... and every one of them has its own little niche!
No extra baggies or boxies to store all the accesories ..... everything has a place specially designed to fit in.
I have sewn a few stitches ... trying out a few of the feet .... and I can tell you now .... I will love and bless my darling DH every day I work on it!!!
It is SO silent, so smooth, so soft, and oh so easy to work with ..... there is a whole rugby-field on the right hand-side compared to my Bernina!
And also ....... no fiddling with the bobbin .... it has a seperate bobbin-winder motor, so you just fill it up and pop it in!!!!!
It has all the bells and whistles I wanted ... and more!!

When we got our "inheritance" from our mother, my sis & I each bought the Elna Quilting Queen. I love my machine, and think of my mother often when I am using it. I have had mine for 5 years and have not had a problem with it ever.
Happy Sewing!
