What sergelady likes about this machine
This Elna 2130 is a mechanical machine. It has about 25 stitches other than straight stitch and one buttonhole. I have been using it for sewing class the past year and a half. It has sewn through many layers of clothes, as I made many garments with it. The stitch length is only 5.0 but it does a very nice basting stitch. I have even sewn on zippers and buttons and buttonholes. It is very easy to use. The machine manual is very good and is very user friendly. Whenever my computerized sewing machine is in the shop for cleaning, I use this machine.

I just love my back up machine. I trust Elna sewing machines as I have had them for quite a few years. They do everything I want them to do.

What sergelady does not like about this machine
I wish it had more buttonhole stitches to use. Other than that, nothing really.
