Its not an Elna. Its really neat looking and it appears to be a zigzag.
IrelandDragonQuilting, can you tell us what the name on the front is? We can then try to find the manufacturer from that information. The picture is not clear enough to see the label on the front of the machine.

I asked her to take more photos and she will get them to me. She says it is a bit heavy, not 70lbs or anything. She says it is connected to the case and you open the case and it falls to the sides to make access the machine.
Thank you so much everyone for your help, I sure hope we can figure this out.
