Fantastic machine
By: Dorothy on 29 May 2025I was very disappointed when I realised this machine was not wifi. It was advertised as such on Echidna Sewing website and my initial conversation with them was I needed that because all my IT was Mac. After contacting Echidna they advised ‘no it’s not Wifi and you need an adapter cord’
