elna overlockers?

[tan32]

Hi ladies just wondering if any one has heard any reviews good or bad on these machines.. I am looking at getting an overlocker, I am just starting out at sewing and want to make the kids some clothes...

I've just bought one - one of the fabric stores has them for sale at the moment... I have spoken to a number of people and they said they are a good brand and very reliable...

So far I have only been able to read the instruction book and that seems pretty easy and self explanitory. Once I have a chance to test mine out I can let you know!

I don't know about the overlockers ... but I have a Elna Contessa 415 sewing maching that were my GRANDMA's and she still works beautifully. Great machine, me and her love each other. She is a bit peeved at me for sewing thick soakers with her atm (mind you it could be the fool behind the tool ), but other than that ... she LOVES working.
She can staystich, backstich and zig-zag ... for kids clothes and home use, that's all ya really need.
