Review of Elna sewing machines

Every respectable housewife should have a sewing machine. Trim the uneven edge of the dress, suture the waist in case of losing weight, sew a loose seam on clothes - all this and much more can be done thanks to this unit. The choice of sewing machines is now huge, but you need to buy a high-quality one. These include the designs of Elna.

The models of the brand in question are quite popular among women. Elna cars are sold in more than 60 countries around the world. Many noted that the samples on offer are of premium quality. The sewing devices of this company are distinguished by their design and innovations: it was this company that introduced systems such as an automatic needle threader, mechanisms that have a low weight and a variety of stitches.

For the first time, this company released its machines in 1940, and even then it distinguished itself: low weight, portability, a metal case for carrying the device and much more. Now the Elna company produces modern sewing devices and delights customers.

To choose the perfect car, you need to know what it should be.

• Pedal sensitivity. It should not be tight or difficult to press. The device should respond to pressing the pedal smoothly, not to take off.
• Smooth stitching. A typewriter is needed to make clothes neat, but if the line wiggles from side to side, things will only get worse.
• The ability to repair and purchase parts... When purchasing any sewing device, you must make sure that it is repairable, that there are service centers in the city, and you can always find the necessary components in stores.
• The presence of a sleeve platform. This compartment is designed to handle sleeves, legs and necks.
• Ruler on the plate under the needle... It is needed in order to easily measure the desired indent from the edge and not get lost in further sewing.

Since this company has existed for almost 80 years, a lot has changed in its arsenal during this time. The devices have become different, diversified, more convenient and compact.

The machine of this model leaves a good impression. Women who use it note that it can sew fairly thick layers of fabric without interruption in work... Takes good on jeans and lining for winter jackets.

Works well on lightweight fabrics. Very quiet at work. There is a removable arm platform. The thread is quite easy and quick to thread. There is a thread cutter. Made a compartment for storing small parts.

Compact device weighing approximately 7 kg. This model has 25 different stitches. There is a cheat sheet on the typewriter for their types. It is also equipped with a built-in needle threader, which is very convenient to use. The set includes a foot for stitching a secret zipper, a high-quality paw used for illumination (service life is more than 2 years).

Many people like her not only for her work, but also for her appearance. Most women note the stylish design of the device. Like many models of this company, this machine is quiet, does not knock or "jump" over the working area. There are many attachments in the set. Such a model can perform 15 operations, including an overlock stitch, which is enough for both beginners and more experienced seamstresses in home use. Note the semi-automatic processing for the buttonholes.

The machine performs 12 operations. This model has there are no decorative stitches. For dense materials, it is better to purchase special needles, since those that come with the kit will not work and will break. The package bundle is incomplete, but it depends on the supplied company, so this is a controversial point. There are a needle threader, a thread cutter. As for the sounds emitted, we can say that it has an average noise level.

Women note that the EasyLine 12 machine is not suitable for sewing knitted fabrics. No straight stitches have been created for her. Also, this model does not work well with leather fabric and leatherette. With them, the machine skips the seams and parts. They also note that the machine is noisy, but this is not a critical factor.

In the EasyLine 16 model, women indicate that there is no down pressure adjustment. It is because of this that this machine will not sew thick fabrics, knitwear or outerwear (but this difficulty is only for beginner seamstresses). When sewing with a twin needle, it is also not possible to adjust the bobbin thread tension, which results in an ugly zigzag underneath. In addition, when a breakdown occurs, it is very difficult to find parts.

The Elna 1001 after a long period of use (2 years) starts to work much louder than before. No screwdriver or cleaning brush included. Unpleasant lighting: dim, eyes get tired of it quickly - you need to replace the light bulb. Overcast stitching is of poor quality, but suitable for home use. Very short spool rods. Bobbins and spools will fly off when thread is wound around them.

Another model is the Elna 1110. It is not suitable for sewing knitwear and other stretch fabrics. A sewing machine is a very necessary thing in the household. Now there is such a variety of these devices that it will not be difficult to get confused.
