Default Elna Carina SU electronic sewing machine

My new vintage addition. Got a great deal at a second hand store. Wondering if I can get a foot to attempt FMQ on this domestic sewing machine
Where to start my search
Any help is appreciated
Thank you

Found it on eBay
Googled it and lucked out -found a seller that listed in the item description the model of my Elna, which is a class 65, 66. 👍

I’ll post pic of my great find soon

Happy Quilting

My Elna Carina is still going strong! I even found another one - for parts- and it works just as well as the original. It is a low shank machine, so most L.S. feet will fit. I can't drop the feeddogs on mine, but there is a small plate cover available that covers them. Google and get the instruction booklets for more data. Elna machines are metal. They work well and seem to last forever.

I received the low shank FMQ foot ordered from ebay; tested it on the Elna Corina and it works beautifully. Feed dogs were not covered and it works fine. I'm attaching pic of the fmq sample.[ATTACH=CONFIG]587645[/ATTACH]
