[. . . ] 6200 Instruction Manual IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Your Elna 6200 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. [. . . ] Remove remaining basting stitches. 27 Rolled Hem 01 D 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 about 6. 5 mm (1/4) from corners to reduce bulk. Insert folded portion of fabric into spiral of foot w. q w 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 variation. 28 Twin Needle Sewing As the name implies, the twin needle results in two identical parallel rows of stitches ­ utility or decorative. 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 other stitch besides the straight stitch, you will need to limit the stitch width to 3. 0 mm or less. e q Turn OFF the power switch and insert a twin needle. Threading the Machine w r t y q ­ eThread 1 through 3 in the same manner as single thread. r Draw the threads down and slide them through the right side of the lower thread guide. t Slide one of the threads through the needle bar thread guide on the left and the other one on the right. Turn ON the power switch. Twin Needle Hem 01 F 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. Be sure to use a stretch twin needle for knit fabrics. Fold the hem up desired amount and topstitch with the twin needle. Set up machine for single needle sewing. 29 Zigzag Stitch 02 A The zigzag stitch is a very versatile stitch. Use the zigzag to finish raw seam edges, sew narrow hems, sew satin stitch appliqués and create beautiful monograms. Adjusting Stitch Width and Length Press the "­" or "+" side of the keys to change the stitch width and length. q w e r q w e r Narrower width Wider width Shorter stitch Longer stitch (lower number) (higher number) (lower number) (higher number) NOTE: Settings can be altered during sewing Overcasting 02 A Simple zigzag stitching is used for finishing raw seam edges (overcasting) on most woven fabrics to prevent fabric from unraveling. · Do not set the stitch width lower than 5. 0 when using overlock foot C because the needle could hit wires on the foot. C Place the fabric edge against the black guide on the foot. Sew. 30 How To Sew On a Button 02 F Hand sewing buttons to a garment is very timeconsuming. · Set the stitch width according to the position of the holes in the button. Mark button placement on fabric. Use washable glue or transparent tape to temporarily secure the button. Match the holes in the button to the horizontal slot on the presser foot. Turn the flywheel by hand until the needle is down inside the left hole of the button. Turn the flywheel by hand to position the needle above the right hole of the button.
