I've just bought a new machine!!!

I didn't get up this morning with any idea of buying a new machine but I just have! After my nightmares with the curtains yesterday I thought I had sorted out the problem but having unpicked it all (again!) I have had the same problem again today. I haven't a hope of getting the machine serviced in the near future, so I did what several of you have recommended and phoned SMD. I spoke to Dave, not Russell but I can recommend him just as highly! After explaining what I wanted and needed I have bought an Elna Experience 520S, which I think is what my daughter bought last year. It's coming Wednesday!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

This is the the one I have bought. It is the same as the one my daughter bought - except that hers is just 520 (no S) - and she is very pleased with it. Now I can't wait. I shall have to pack the old one away for now and sort out which things won't work with the new machine.

My Elna often comes out when the new Pfaff won't sew something!  I really only bought the new Pfaff cos the Elna's buttonholes weren't balanced on each side, and there was no way to adjust it that I could find.

Lovely machine, I have an Elna 6600, nearly 20 years old now and I still love it. Elna are the same 'stable' as Janome so most of my machine feet fit both machines (I have a Horizon as well).
Enjoy your new toy.
