Elna coming tomorrow!

I just heard back from the repair man: I'll be able to pick up my Elna tomorrow! I'm very excited to see it again. He said it was very stuck, but it should be working well now. I'm also waiting on some more cams that I ordered. I will have a post soon about my current Elna disc collection.

Elna in the shop!

Since my Supermatic had been sitting for a while before I bought it, I had to send it to the shop to get the mechanism unstuck and the motor pulley replaced. I'm still waiting on it to be returned, and I hope to start a project soon!

Welcome!

This blog is devoted to my experiences learning to sew with a vintage Elna Supermatic sewing machine. I wanted to document my whole experience with this machine, which I have just recently purchased, and so I've set up this blog for all those out there who are fans of Elna. Hopefully, some people will find my posts not just amusing but also informative. I'm very excited to see what I can learn with this machine!
