Anyone have any knowledge/experience of the Elna 6200?
I particularly like the fact that all the feet etc are on board (thinking about it as an option for my downstairs sewing machine as my current one is out on extended loan to a friend).

I have this machine and love it to bits. Mine is called elna 6200 decorators touch but probably the same machine.  What did you want to know about it?  Are you looking at buying a new one or used one? :sew:

Sadly @Lilian I was not successful in getting the 6200.  They seem to be in short supply.  I'm keeping an eye out so I may strike lucky at some point.

That's a shame @annieeg it's a nice little machine at a reasonable price. :vintage:

Thanks @Gernella - My search was restricted to 6200 which is why I missed this.
Let's see if I have more luck with this one...

Oh @annieeg, absolutely wonderful.  I bet they are pleased as well because there wasn't much movement and no watchers.

@ Gernella Its odd that there wasn't much interest because the one I had my eye the other week sold for £290 and there were loads of bids. 
Anyway hopefully its a good buy.  I just sold my Bernina 930 so I want to put some of that money to another machine (which will be downstairs/portable machine).  I like the 6200 because all the spares are on board, its 7mm stitch width, has auto cutter etc.
@Lilian speaks highly of her 6200.
I'll update you with feedback when it arrives early next week (if I can sneak it by OH :ninja:).

Been there, done that, got away with it, many times. <3

Enjoy, you are worth it. ;)

@annieeg Good news so glad you managed to get a newer one.  Mine does not have the auto-cutter though  :vintage:
