    Default Does anyone know anything about this attachment

    I am trying to help a friend of mine find out about
    this attachment.
    DX-05 PANTOGRAPH TRACE EMBROIDERY SEWING MACHINE ATTACHMENT

    we were cleaning out her mother's house (her mom is moving in with my friend)
    and we can't ask mom were she got it because she doesn't know very much after her
    recovery for stroke. we have looked on internet, called local sewing machine dealer,but
    we can't find any information on this attachment. It is a big attachment, but what
    machine it goes with or how to use it we don't know. There has never been a sewing machine
    in this lady house, she is not a sewer. Also no instruction manual with attachment. Attachment was in a long box with DX-05 PANTOGRAPH TRACE EMBROIDERY SEWING MACHINE ATTACHMENT
    marked on attachment.
    Thank you.
    Delilah

    I googled the item name of the item and came up with an Ebay listing. For an Elna sewing machine. Looks interesting.

    Yes seen that one on ebay. I email the seller...never answered back. but you are so right this attachment look very interesting. If my friend and I ever discover what sewing machine this will work on she said
    she is going to have to buy one it just to see how it works. I know it will not work on my Kenmore
    1583450 we tried it. Just another project for us to work on to find the answer....ha ha along with
    the crazy monogrammer # V171278 I have been trying to find for months. Funny how the part you are looking for is never the part you find.
    thank you

    Well after googling your attachment it looks like you set it up and then use your machine to trace the original and at the same time stitch out a duplicut of the same image. Interesting kind of like what Wahington (?) used for signing and writing many letters.

    I know this is an old post, but I'm wondering whether the question was ever discovered, what machine does this attachment work on?

    One of the earlier posts says it goes on an Elna. I have no personal knowledge.

    I did a search and apparently it was made either by Elna or for an Elna sewing machine. it is described as an early (as in older) attachment that traces a pantograph.

    Thank you for that. It seems that this was not a popular accessory hence the dearth of available information. I've even run into people who own the accessory and who have no idea what machine it fits. I would have thought that it would likely fit the legendary Elna Supermatic, but that's just a guess.
