anyone know about Ellita machine
I have the opportunity to buy a portable Ellita machine by Elna for $50.00. I was thinking about getting it for my Grand
daughter but I know nothing about them. Does anyone have one? How do you like it? It is a portable but very heavy I think the #IS 255. Thanks

I bet you mean an Elnita. I think it's an older one, but that might be good. Elna started using plastic gears pretty early, so i would check to be sure that it doesn't have them. They're good for about 20-30 years then they start to crumble.
I would try to find an all steel machine. Kenmore made some very nice machines that go quite cheaply....about $20-$30 usually.
