Thanks for identifying the attachments for me. Now to look for a manual that explains how to use the ones new to me.

If you want,my email is I can have my daughter or husband scan them and email them to you.I am not to sure how to do it myself.What year did your mom buy her machine???

marydent, thanks for the offer. I don't have the date of the original purchase of this machine. Sorry. As to the manual, I will take you up on the offer. I will send you a private message so you will know where to send the attachments manual file.

Hello, I'm from Florida. I have the same machine and it came from the late 50's-early 60's. The machine was my mothers. She sewed most of clothes on it while growing up. I saw a monogrammer o. EBay but I'm not sure if it would fit my machine. I'm also looking for cams. My mother didn't buy any extra cams. If you have any idea wher ed to look besides eBay and easy, please let me know.

COOL! My mother had stitch cams, she had it all her life, I tried to inherit but it had done it's time.. The disc are coolest thing.. It made interesting embroidery stitches. I still have some denim items made with this machine.. Bullies at school would always steel my denim pencil cases mother made for me. Nothing like poking the little guy..
Mother had a green Elna, same idea..

Your lucky you found such machine still alive.. Very good with denims and curdoroys. My mother only had the I think ruffle thingy foot, or maybe it was walking foot for quilting. Was ugly, and made so much noise. It probably with your machine.
