Its long-arm design and extra-large sewing space are built with serious quilting performance in mind, while an extra-long free arm still offers the versatility needed for garment construction.

Garment makers benefit from the extra-long free arm and consistent buttonhole performance for polished finishes. Creative sewists enjoy the wide variety of decorative stitches displayed on the 5" HD color touchscreen.
We recommend the Elna eXcellence 772 for quilters and garment sewists who want advanced feeding technology, precise pivoting control, and construction precision in one machine.
