#NECCHI JULIA REVIEW FREE#
I like sewing in a table but once I get used to a free arm (or flat bed) I rarely have issues with one.Ĥ) It's very quiet. I rarely need a free arm as I'm used to flat bed machines and know most of the work-arounds for things like cuffs, but it's still nice to have.
The Elna Grasshopper was the very first free arm machine.
With the Grasshopper, I don't have to hunt for a pedal with my foot.ģ) The free arm. You can see this in action here (note to self: oil that joint). What's extra nice about the Grasshopper's is that it folds up and out of the way very easily. I love having a machine that doesn't take up a lot of space and is easy to move around.Ģ) The foldout knee pedal. As you can see, my sewing table is crowded. I could use any of my machines for this, really, though I wouldn't use a zigzagger for most topstitching.įive things I like most about the Grasshopper:ġ) It has a very small footprint and is relatively lightweight. This is the machine I use to make most of my shirts. It's hard to choose a favorite because I like them all, but if I had to, I'd choose the Elna Grasshopper. These are not all my sewing machines (I think I have 14) just the ones I sew with most frequently of late.
The Bernina dates from the early 1980's, the rest are from the early 1950's. This is what my sewing table looks like these days: my green Elna Grasshopper, a Bernina 930 (just behind), a Singer 15-91 (front right), and a Singer 201: three straight-stitch machines and a zigzagger.
