Overview of sewing machines Elna

Every decent housewife should have a sewing machine. To trim the uneven edge of the dress, close the waist in case of weight loss, sew a loose seam on clothes - all this and much more can be done thanks to this unit. The choice of sewing machines is huge now, but you need to purchase high-quality. These include designs by Elna.

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

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

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

• The sensitivity of the pedal. It should not be tight and hard to press. The device should respond to pedal depresses smoothly, not to break away.
• Flat stitch. The machine is needed in order to make clothes neat, but if the line wags from side to side, everything will only get worse.
• 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 in the stores you can always find the necessary accessories.
• 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 to stray in further sewing.

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

The machine of this model leaves a good impression. Women using it note that it can stitch rather thick layers of matter without interruption. Well takes jeans and linings for winter jackets.

Well suited for working with light tissues. Very quiet at work. There is a removable sleeve platform. The thread is fairly easy and quick to refuel. There is a thread cutter. A compartment for storing small parts has been made.

Compact device weighing approximately 7 kg. This model has 25 different lines. On the typewriter there is a cheat sheet by their types. It is also equipped with a built-in needle threader, very convenient to use. In the kit there is a foot for flashing a hidden zipper, a high-quality foot used for backlighting (lifetime more than 2 years).

Many people like it not only for work, but also for appearance. Most women note the stylish design of the device. Like many models of this company, this machine is quiet, does not knock and does not "jump" around the work area. The set has a lot of nozzles. A similar model can perform 15 operations, including an overlock seam, which is enough for a beginner and for more experienced seamstresses at home. Semi-automatic processing for loops is noted.

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

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

In the EasyLine 16 model, women indicate a lack of pressure control. It is because of this that this machine will not sew thick fabrics, knitwear or outerwear (but this complexity is only for beginner seamstresses). When sewing with a double needle, there is also no possibility to adjust the tension of the lower thread, due to which an ugly zigzag is obtained from the bottom. In addition, when a breakdown is very difficult to find parts.

After long use (2 years), the Elna 1001 starts to work much louder than before. No screwdriver and brush for cleaning included. Unpleasant lighting: dim, eyes quickly get tired of it - you need to replace the light bulb. The sewing stitch is of poor quality, but suitable for home use. Very short reel rods. Bobbins and spools fly off when winding threads on them.

Another model is the Elna 1110. It is not intended for flashing knitwear and other elastic fabrics. A sewing machine is a very necessary thing in the household. Now there is such a variety of these devices that getting confused is not difficult.
