I'm on my third Elna sewing machine over the last 45 years -- and have
loved them all. Funny you should say that about your Elna serger. The
Elna serger was the only Elna I've had bad luck with. I used it a lot
when I first had it (in the early 80's), but finally traded it in on a
Babylock a couple years ago. For some reason, it was easy for the Elna's
timing to go bad and it would end up in the shop almost every time I
used it.

Julia, I don't know diddly about the Elna Stella but I do have an Elna

to make fine machines. Polly

machines, and, lo and behold,
there was a sweet little Elna Stella. I have been wanting an Elna
Lotus, but after I saw Stella I really want her. She's in mint
condition. The little tool "box" on top still has the seam ripper and
the needle threader. The original manual is there. They gave me some
goofy synthetic thread thread to use on top; bobbin had cotton thread,
so tension seemed kind of wacky. Price seemed high, but when I got
home, I checked e-bay & online, so it definitely seems reasonable in
comparison. The owner is gone next week; maybe next week I'll go in
with my own thread and fabric and talk to the owner. It does look like
a real sweetie. Of course, I don't need another sewing machine and I
don't have a lot of room to store it but still....
