The Elna eXcellence 720PRO is a high-speed, computerized sewing machine with a heavy-duty construction and robust aluminum body, built for professional users who need speed, precise feeding, and a spacious workspace with the full power of computerized control. It's a natural fit for quilters, garment sewists, and anyone running a home-based craft business or tailoring studio who needs consistent, high-quality results.

What makes the 720PRO stand out is the combination of speed and workspace. The 10" all-metal seamless flatbed gives you room to maneuver large quilts and fabric panels, while the Upper Feed System by elna guides fabric from top to bottom with precision, keeping multiple layers from shifting for perfect matching of stripes and checks. It's also the first domestic flat-bed sewing machine with one-step needle plate conversion — press a button to release one plate and snap in another.

Speed is where the 720PRO earns its reputation. At up to 1,200 stitches per minute, it's the fastest domestic machine in its class. The sliding speed control lets you dial that back when precision matters, and manual foot pressure adjustment from 0 to 3 lets you fine-tune stitching for your chosen fabric.

Stitch control rounds out the package. 200 built-in stitches and 91 needle positions give you precise creative control, while programmable direct stitch selection lets you swap 7 of the 10 quick-select keys for your own favorites. The 3.6" LCD screen, paired with a detachable stitch reference chart, keeps everything visible at a glance, and the Favorite Stitch (FS) function lets you save your personalized settings.

Everyday workflow is just as well considered. The automatic thread cutter trims threads at the push of a button, while the built-in superior needle threader, memorized needle up/down, adjustable knee lifter, and independent bobbin winder motor keep you moving efficiently through long sewing sessions. Over 40 standard accessories and an included extension table round out a machine built to be a reliable, long-term investment for commercial and serious home sewing alike.
