The Elna Supermatic is considered a full size machine. The Elna #1/ Grasshopper is much smaller and probably considered a 3/4 sized machine.

Are the Elna's a 3/4 or are they just a small arm? I know the Elna Lotus is pretty small. The Dynamic and the Cinderella must be step sisters......

Miriam,
I'm not familiar with that machine. The bed measurements (rounded off) for a 3/4 sized machine are usually about 12" X 6". Whereas the full sized Singers are about 7" X 14".

Miriam,
The base on the Minnesota ~B~ measures 6 3/4" W x 13 3/4" L. I guess by Mizkaki's numbers it's more of a full sized machine than a 3/4 size. The pillar and arm just make it look smaller I guess. Joe |

The Greyhound is so appropriately named...it really reminds me of a Greyhound! LOL

Miriam,
I don't have actual measurements for the 1/2 size. Pat, do you know? The Featherweight is considered a half size. So one could compare to that. cathy

If the Minnesota is the same size as my Vindex Special it is full sized - it is a good 7 X 14 - I think some machines just set different on their base so look smaller than they really are.

These are great! I love my 3/4 machines!

Wow, thanks for sharing pictures of your old sewing machines. Awesome!
