The Elna EL2000 is back on sale for $99.00 for VIP members (can join for free in-store).
Good solid machine for those not confined to a sweatshop in Shandong Guangdong Province.
If buying online for delivery use code 'SPAWELCOM' for $10.00 off.
NB: A notice in-store notes that their catalague initially said it had a "1-Step Button Hole" feature, when it should have read "one 4-Step Button hole" feature. Seems to be fixed now.
Use the following code and you can save an additional $10!
"SPAWELCOM"
thanks, was just about to post the code.
Unfortunately it is only delivery and not click and collect :(
Got this couple years ago. Running great. Does most of the jobs for clothing.
I'm always losing buttons from my shirts. I can hand sew them but it's a strain on my eyes. Can someone comment on how well the button sewing feature works?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VVBxSolYZE - check out the last 5 mins in the video where they show you to sew a button.
Thanks. Do the holes have to be at a standard separation or can the machine adapt to various sizes? Some buttons, like on coats, are larger.
I haven't used it personally, sorry I can't answer. I am thinking to buy as well.
Hopefully I decide before the deal runs out :)
I would get better magnification glasses, you can buy them cheap from places like Daiso. By the time you setup the machine you could've sewed on a good number of buttons. The trick is also to add a few stitches to the other buttons whilst repairing the one that fell off.
I can't find the click and collect. Is there any c&c for spotlight? or I can't see it
they are not that fancy - its instore or delivery…
cheers
All hail the long, long, long awaited return of AngryChicken!
Got this on the last deal for my daughter's birthday.
They shipped it in an oversized box with the product box literally rattling around in a box designed for 3 of them. Then because it was oversided, Australia Post made me go across town to a main depot to pick it up. Would have been closer to pick up from a Spotlight store.
The machine itself is good. Spotlight sucks. Australia Post sucks.
Tip: If you're creating an account to get this, make sure you wait for the welcome credit. It's only $5 or $10 (can't remember) but I only found the coupon after I'd actually made the purchase and the odds of me buying something in time to use it are nil.
Shandong has A$400/month minimum wage now. The sweatshops are moving west.
