Hi,
today I got a Recall letter from Elna. Potential safety hazzard, that's what they call it. (Report of an electrical arcing (spark) that caused an internal fire inside one machine, at a dealer's store.( No injuries.)

Please unplug and stop using your Elna 740 model. Take it back to the dealer where you bought it for a free repair.

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of a recall on a sewing machine.

Thanks for the alert.

Do you like the machine for quilting? Would you recommend this machine?
