What a cool challenge! It made me read the manual of my beloved 40 year old Elna machine which I inherited from my mom 20 years ago. Every time I use it, it brings back wonderful memories of mom. Today I learned how to use the cool little discs that came with it. I've never used anything but straight and zig zag, and only on fabric. Who knew the stretch blind stitch looked so much like a heart rate monitor?
I am continuing in my resolution to try to do challenges - my second one in 2 weeks - it sure is fun! Thanks for organizing and for teaching me new stuff!!

clever you! this is great!!!
is your machine an Elna Air Electronic? I love that machine, which I would have used today had my DD not borrowed several years ago and returned NOT working!! They just don't make them like they used to!
