I am fascinated by them! I once spent $10 on a little pamphlet on how to use the ruffler and it was very helpful! I was able to do tucks and then ruffles using it as a guide. There really was a connection between this, and sewing dresses for refugee kids. The dresses all have a lot of ruffles. My viking machine has snap on feet. Yes maybe I have the weird little thing somewhere to convert them. I remember it way back as being difficult. So I wanted a machine again I could use the ruffler with!
I bought a box of attachments about 6 months ago but couldn't use them until I got another machine.
The machines I just bought each have a jumble of attachments with them. Some are not for the Elna. I'm sure sellers just figure they'll put sewing attachments all together. I know just enough to see I have 3 different types of some attachments.
I searched through my Threads DVD and found several articles on sewing machine attachments and printed them out. It is just not convenient to have to have your laptop taking up space as you try to walk yourself through the instructions.
I got an email today from the BMV club about a sale and at the bottom was a photo of a sewing machine attachment book for $16 something with $7 shipping. I went to amazon and found one for under $8 with the standard $4 shipping. I resisted the urge to get the other book on attachements. I like to compare. So often when you get your hands on a "how to" book one is much more clear or closer to what you want! But property taxes are due so I was frugal.
More later as I try to use these machines.
