The Elna Supermatic is considered a full size machine. The Elna #1/ Grasshopper is much smaller and probably considered a 3/4 sized machine.

Miriam,
I'm not familiar with that machine. The bed measurements (rounded off) for a 3/4 sized machine are usually about 12" X 6". Whereas the full sized Singers are about 7" X 14".

Miriam,
I don't have actual measurements for the 1/2 size. Pat, do you know?
The Featherweight is considered a half size. So one could compare to that.
