Hi Emily. I have this same machine. I use it for adding names to baby blankets. I can't seem to get the names big. I have tried changing to the large hoop and it still only does the 5x5. Any suggestions?
Honestly I hardly do names. I use an external program for things because I find editing anything related to embroidery easier on a computer than on the machine, then I transfer the files to the machine. Software opens up a whole other world of editing, fonts, and programs like Embrilliance, SewWhat Pro are pretty easy to learn with a lot of online support. I'm sorry I'm not more help with built in fonts! :(
It does not. You purchase it separately for the 860. If you cannot find it in Elna, it's a high shank 9mm Janome walking foot, look on the Janome website for the Janome 9900 part number.

Hi Emily ,
Does the elna 860 have an integrated walking foot or does it have to be purchased separately? Can't find anything online 🙁. Thanks, Mary
