Arrowtack; Eyelets; Shell Tuck - ELNA 6600 Instruction Manual

Arrowtack

This stitch is used to reinforce the corners of pockets and
pleats.
Select 024.
Place fabric under foot so center pleat line is horizontal in
front of you. Lower presser foot so the center bar lines up
with the pleat line. (This allows the widest part of the
stitch to be sewn in the pleat center.) Begin sewing and
press "Auto-lock" key. Machine will complete arrowtack,
lockstitch and automatically stop.
NOTE: Adjust foot pressure and fine adjustment screw
(see page 19) for best results on very heavy
fabrics.

Eyelets

Small eyelets may be sewn on belts, used for lacing
cords or simply used for a decorative effect.
Select 025.
The machine will sew an eyelet and automatically stop.
Cut open the eyelet with a seam ripper, pointed scissors
or an awl.

Shell Tuck

This is a pretty hem finish for lingerie and tricot fabrics.
You can sew shell stitches in any direction on knits or soft
silky wovens.
Select 026.
Attach satin stitch foot F.
Press "Mirror Image" key. Tighten needle tension to 7-8.
Use a lightweight fabric. Fold and stitch on the bias.
Allow the needle to just clear the folded edge of the fabric
when it swings off the fabric to the right. If you sew rows
of shell stitches, space the rows at least 1.5 cm
(5/8˝) apart.
