Not only does it help you set the proper tension, it lets you know that it is a more recent model than other sewing machines that have stopped production. The speed adjustment is one of its finer features especially for those people who like to sew more slowly.
But when you need the power or the speed, this machine is capable of boosting it up so you get your work done on time. There is a differential feed style that makes the machine powerful enough to handle a lot of different fabrics and you can use 2 to 5 cones of thread at one time if you have the right model. Its computerized design takes a lot of the sewing work out of your sewing projects and there will be some time needed to learn how to use this machine correctly.
The main features are the adjustable presser foot as well as the adjustable stitch width and length. A rolled hem is possible to do when you use the Elna Lock Pro 5 Dc and that is a good feature for those sewers who like that hem style. The knife seems to be durable and strong as it remains sharp for over 20 years. Some people have reported that they are still on the same one even though buying the machine n the 90s.
For those that like sergers, this may be the time to buy one of these models. Their prices are low even though they still sew up a storm and do not cause anyone any trouble. It is a nice sewing machine when you want to upgrade to a computerized version without having to pay the computerized cost. That is encouraging news until we came across a more up-to-date cost at eBay. Both models are being sold in Ithaca, NY. That gives you an idea of what you should be paying for this computerized sewing machine.
Sharpen up your negotiating skills if you come across a model that is selling higher than those figures. When these models were new, it is said that they cost more than a Bernina and a Pfaff so that tells you that it is a machine that holds a lot of features. Plus, you never know when you will run into a motivated seller who will let you have it for a steal. This may harder than it looks as our searches have turned up very few of these Elna sewing machines for sale.
Either people are hanging on to them and waiting to pass it down to their children or no one is selling one at this time. We found one at eBay and we mean just one and then only two at that link we provided in the previous section. That means you may have to search for one the old-fashioned way and do a little leg work.
First stops will be vintage sewing machine stores, sewing machine repair shops, antique stores, and thrift stores.
You never know what you will in any of these places but for the non-thrift stores, the cost may be a bit on the high side. Then check the classified ads as they will have some people looking to make space in their homes and want to get rid of their older sewing machines. Craigslist is always an option and its detailed setup allows you to search in different states. Then, as usual, there is a myriad of garage, yard, estate sales as well as your local flea markets.
It is a gamble doing this but along with a nice Elna pro 5 DC, you may find some other treasures to bring home. We are getting a bit disappointed in one of our go-to download manual websites.
We will give you the link to it anyways in case you have other Elna sewing machines in your home or by the off chance they finally get one.
Another option will be this link. It comes in a PDF file and we are not sure how much this option will be. It is a hard copy as well so you would have to wait for shipping before you can look at it. Hard copies are not that bad, it is just that download manuals are easier, faster, and usually a lot cheaper than hard copies.
We also like to encourage people to contact the company directly. They do have a support system that often turns up manuals no one else has. Their support page is at this link but Elna is not Singer so you may have a rougher time looking for what you want. To get things started, we will do first what we finished within the previous section and tell you to try Elna directly.
They do have an accessories page but those items may not work on your Pro 5 DC model. But you never know what you will find out when you contact them. Or you can go to their authorized dealers and repair shops to see what is in stock, what may still be available, or at least a lead to those items.
Since we are talking about servicing machines that were produced 30 years ago, this is a long shot. However, all is not lost as this company advertises parts for the pro 5 DC model. And end with a '? Free shipping on many items. About us The Company. Been around since with the launch of the Elna 1, the first compact, portable, electric sewing machine with a free arm when unfolded, its metal carrying case formed a sewing table. The Elna 1 was green in color, breaking away from the traditional black, an innovation in itself for the time.
