Blind Hem Stitches; Lingerie Stitch - ELNA 6600 Instruction Manual

Blind Hem Stitches

The stretch blind hem (4) is a great method for finishing a
hemline or sleeve.
Use the woven blind hem (026) on non-stretch fabrics.
Finish the raw hem edge with a zigzag or 3 step zigzag
q before sewing the blind hem.
Select 4 or press "MODE" key and select 026.
Fold up the hem allowance and press. Fold under the
hem toward right side of garment. Leave a 6.5-10 mm
e
(1/4˝ to 3/8˝) extension e at the right.
w Wrong side of fabric.

Position the fabric (wrong side up) so the folded edge r
is to the left side of the guide t. Lower the presser foot.
Hand turn the flywheel and check that wide zigzag
catches only one or two fibers of the fold. The straight
stitch (or narrow zigzag) will be sewn on the single fabric
layer.
r
If the guide needs adjustment: raise needle out of fabric,
lift presser foot, turn the adjustment nut y and move the
guide to the right or left. Reposition fabric against guide,
check needle swing by turning flywheel, lower presser
y
foot and sew hemline.
Unfold and open fabric with right side facing up. Stitches
t
should be almost invisible.
r
NOTE: If the needle catches too much of the fold, the
stitches will show on the right side.

Lingerie Stitch

Sew a fine seam in lingerie and lightweight knits. The
small seam size stretches and is comfortable to wear.
Select 5.
Place fabric edges so needle just clears edge when it
swings off the fabric to the right.
