User manual ELNA 3210

[. . . ] IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Your Elna 3000 series sewing machine is designed and constructed for HOUSEHOLD use only. Read all instructions before using this machine. DANGER ­ To reduce the risk of electric shock: 1. Always unplug the machine from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning. Do not place or store machine where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. [. . . ] Stop about 5 cm (2") from the top of the zipper. Slightly lower the needle into the fabric. Lower the foot and stitch the remainder of the seam, making sure the fold is even. Remove remaining basting stitches. 26 Pintucks Pintucks are a lovely accent for modern and heirloom fashions. They should be added to your fabric before cutting out the pattern piece. 1. Use a washable fabric marker and draw lines for pintucks on the fabric right side. Place folded fabric under presser foot against the blind hem foot guide. Remove fabric marker lines before pressing pintucks to one side. 1 Quilt Guide Quilting is produced by stitching two layers of fabric together with batting in-between to add dimension and warmth. Traditionally used for bedspreads, quilting is now used for crafts, garments and home decorating. The quilt guide is helpful when sewing parallel, evenly spaced rows of stitching. Slide the quilt guide to set the width at the distance you desire between the stitching rows. When sewing subsequent rows of stitching, the quilt guide will rest on the previous row of stitching. The quilt guide can also be used with the walking (even feed) foot, an optional accessory. 27 Rolled Hem An easy professional way to sew hems. The spiral on the hemmer foot guides the fabric edge to create a rolled hem. Recommended for fine, sheer fabrics used in bridal wear. Trim 6. 5 mm (1/4") by 8 mm (3/8") from corners to reduce bulk. Make a double 3 mm (1/8") fold approximately 8 cm (3") in length. 2 Align fabric hem edge with the inside of right extension of foot 1 . Insert folded portion of fabric into spiral of foot 2 . 1 Lower presser foot and sew; lift up edge of fabric to keep it feeding smoothly. NOTE: Use zigzag with stitch width 1. 0 ­ 2. 0 for a variation. 28 Twin Needle Hem (optional needle) A twin needle hem is quick and easy. This is an excellent hemming method for knit fabrics because the bobbin thread zigzags, allowing the hem to stretch with the fabric. CAUTION: Twin needles are available in many different sizes and widths. Before sewing, always turn the flywheel to make sure the needles do not hit the foot. If you use any stitch other than the straight stitch, the stitch width must be 3 mm or less. Thread the machine in the same manner as for single thread (see page 17), using both spool pins.
