Elna Supermatic Sewing Machine Review

My problem now is that the flywheel will not engage with the pulley.
Elna supermatic sewing machine review. That color that greeeeeeeen. It sounds like a great machine and i do wish elna hadn t been sold as the new machines just don t compare to these old workhorses. They said it was an answer to singer s featherweight. So i ve done that and the machine has been cleaned and oiled and made all pretty again.
It came with the standard grime covering the whole exterior and reassurances that it worked. I ve got a beige elna supermatic that i m ready to throw on the ground. Another review looked at the first sewing machine model made by that company. There were many frozen parts and mechanisms that would keep it from sewing so it was a major search and destroy refurbish job.
It has a very confident look about it for sure. When i first got it i knew the friction pulley needed to be replaced. It was during that brief period of transition between manufacturers that the quality of the machines plummeted. So along came the supermatic model 722010.
Currently my quest is for the more eclectic stylish and revered. Unlike modern day sewing machines her durability is state of the art. Not many people are lucky enough to find these little gems so if you ever come across one buy it immediately. The new elnas are also good as they are made by janome.
One review praised the elna supermatic 2 giving it high marks for durability and ability to sew through any fabric. Vintage sewing machines are unique and often overlooked. The elna supermatic is one of those beauties and can sew through just about anything. Johnr55 said 10 7 09 7 28 am this is my 3rd super and have never had a problem with it.
