Elna 7200
A Quilting Machine with High Marks!

The Elna 7200, a quilting sewing machine similar to the Janome 6500, has many positive reviews by quilters who like the performance and features of this versatile Elna sewing machine.

Even though the 7200 has the ability to do beautiful alphabet letters in both block and script, the reviewers were mostly quilters who used it heavily for their many projects.

Features of the 7200

• 128 interesting stitches - utility, quilting, cross stitch, heirloom stitches, 7 styles of buttonhole stitches. For really big openings you can use the 4 step classic or bound buttonhole. Some reviewers mentioned liking the buttonhole applique stitch, a feature that the Janome 6500 does not have.

• Large LCD screen - The screen has an adjustable back light. The screen tells you the recommended foot, stitch width and length. Shows you mirror image and face to face. And it shows you what your stitch will look like—before you try it out.

• Heirloom stitches - These are neat. You can choose from Point de Paris, Turkish or Venetian, etc.

• Knee lifter - This allows you to raise or lower the presser foot. It can be used to pivot corners, sew free hand embroidery or piece patchwork. This is one of the features that reviewers liked best.

One complaint that was fairly common is that both the Elna 7200 and Janome 6500 have some problems with small areas of paint chipping.

Most reviewers loved their quilting machines and so were willing to put up with this minor inconvenience. A little clear nail polish should keep the problem from getting any worse.
