Another great sewing experience from Elna, the Elna eXperience 560 Sewing Machine is a great option for your next sewing machine!

The first thing you notice about this machine is its price. The eXperience 560 comes in at about a midrange price, making it accessible to many, even those who might have a more strict budget.

This sewing machine is computerised, making it easy to use and allows for more features to be included. But it’s not too much of a machine that you won’t use some of the features or get too frustrated trying to figure out how to use it. That makes it perfect for any sewist at any level, no matter what you’re wanting to create with it!

You’ll find that the Elna eXperience 560 Sewing Machine has 100 unique sewing stitches. That’s including 7 stitches that are automatic 1-step buttonholes. You’ll have access to all of the best utility stitches, quilting stitches, and even a few select decorative stitches that will help you to create beautiful garments, bags, soft furnishings, and so much more! There’s nothing you can’t create with this sewing machine’s list of stitches!

And you’ll be able to customise all of your stitches, too! Where applicable, you’ll be able to change the stitch’s width and/or length so that you can make sure your stitches are perfect for whatever project you put to your machine. The maximum possible stitch width on the eXperience 560 is 7mm, giving you a lot of space to customise!

One of our favourite features on this machine is the start/stop button! This button, located on the front of the machine above the needle, allows you to control the machine without the use of the foot control. This makes it a great option for anyone who travels with their machine, allowing you to leave a clunky piece of the machine at home, and gives you more control over the machine when working with decorative stitches.

The Elna eXperience 560 also features a top loading bobbin. If you’ve ever wrestled with a bobbin casing or fought with bobbin thread nesting, you’ll want to take a look at machines with a top loading bobbin. This style of bobbin casing sits horizontally instead of vertically and allows you to see into the machine and some of the working parts. The orientation allows for better access to be able to clean out any dust, lint, or other debris so that you can clean out anything that messes with the moving mechanisms.

You’ll love the amount of workable space on this machine, too! It has 6 inches of workspace to the right of the needle and comes with an extension table! Extension tables are great assets to any kind of sewist. Quilters find that they allow for easier piecing and quilting, garment sewists appreciate the support an extension table gives their projects as they work, and anyone who makes bags or soft furnishing appreciate having that extra space to spread out their work!
