It's nice to see they are still intent on keeping the name alive with new models. I don't know why they ask so much more for them, though.

I wonder if they'll have a full lineup of machines. I love the one I have! About a month ago, I checked into starting a retail store where I live. I heard about the Necchi coming out. I was told it was a lower priced range of machines. No embroidery - and IIRC, there wouldn't be anything over $1,000 or so. If they reincarnated the Lydia, I'd want one. ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel. My dearest wish is to have Bernina come out with a machine that doesn't give me a reason to *not* buy it. 2012: New Elna Lotus (mostly for granddaughter), Red Elna Press, Horizon 7700, Gidget 2 Table, Babylock Ellisimo Gold 1970's: Elna SU62 & ElnaPress

But the name is owned by someone, and the machines have been variously and at the same time built by Janome, Toyota, etc. On European Necchi sites, you can see them sometimes. The US distributor's website isn't at all good, nor has there been a machines line up there for awhile. The US distributor is supposed to be Allyn International and there is not one thing going on there. My sewing guy sells them, or at least did, and the machines are quite well built, and seem to have been Janome made all alone as far as his line up of them. I keep meaning to go see if he still has them, just for interest sake. Necchi Italy ------ "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." --Dalai Lama I have sewing machines

IIRC, the Necchi's might be able to be sold over the internet. If this is true, then there is the reason that the Necchi equivalent of the Elna 740 might only be sold in other countries. (Because the Elna dealers are prohibited from shipping machines) ------ nightowlsally.com On my radar someday: Babylock Serger, and some machine for travel.
