My new toy!
#1
Here are pictures of the Elna "Grasshopper". It runs very smoothly and I guess my knee muscle memory from 48 years ago is pretty good because I adjusted to the knee control without any problem! Much more room around the needle than a featherweight--taller and wider. It will be great for piecing when I have the other machine set up for quilting. (Now I have a featherweight that I don't need. Hmm!)

If so....that is really cool.

Interesting, I had never see that until your pictures. I know about the old treadles (I have one!!!) but yours is really neat. I would love to try that some time.
The wrap around case to table is also pure genious (sp)too.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new baby!
