I finally got an updated sewing machine after all these years!
After using a plastic Singer sewing machine and borrowing machines all of these years I finally got an updated sewing machine! I am so excited I can't stand it. I haven't been able to quilt for a couple of years except for a few small projects. I have been living vicariously through all of you quilters on the board. It is a machine that I got at an LQS. It was traded in for a higher level machine and I think I got a good deal on it. It is an Elna Quilter's Dream 7200. It comes with six hours of training classes and I am going to need every minute as I have never used a machine like this before. Maybe, after a few months of practice I will be able to post some pics of some real quilts. No one in my family understands how excited I am or why. I had to post because I know some of you will understand.

I do understand! Good for you and enjoy!

Especially an Elna. I have all kinds of Singers and other vintage sewing machines (I can't turn down a bargain at a yard sale, plus all my sisters are enablers). But I have been an Elna person since about 1960, love the quiet running efficient machines that every model is--my sisters also have Elnas and love them. My most recent purchase was an embroidery model that I think also can be used as a quilter, but since I have a LA, this one will be used exclusively for embroidery, if I can ever find the time to go and take the classes. Congratulations, enjoy it to the fullest.

Congrats! Modern Elnas are great machines, they are made by Brother or Janome, depending on the model.

congrats on your new machine!!!

Congrats on the new machine. As a second machine I have an Elna 3007, it's an electronic sewing machine and is a real workhorse. I had it at my girlfriends house because we used to get together on weekends and sew but I just brought it home because my great nephew wants to learn how to sew.

Congratulations! It is fun to have a new machine and to learn all the little things it can do. Then comes the time when you ask yourself, How ever did I live without all these bells and whistles? Elna's are great machines, Enjoy!
