Threading; Antenna - ELNA 745 User Manual

SECTION III

Threading

The threading routes will change
according to the selected program.
As you learn to thread your machine, we
recommend using the thread colors that are
shown on the tension dials. This will help you
understand the function of each thread.
Programs are based on sewer using polyester
or a polyester/cotton blend of thread for all
threading positions. Choose a brand of thread
that is even and consistent with no thick and
thin areas.
NOTE: The speed of the machine and the
stitch formation stretches the thread as it
passes through the tension discs and thread
guides. Therefore, it is important that the
thread is polyester or a polyester/cotton blend.
A 100% cotton thread is too weak and will
result in threads breaking.
IMPORTANT: Locate the threading diagram
for the stitch, study the threading guides
carefully and use each guide indicated. The
machine must be threaded in the correct
sequence. Follow the sequence shown on the
Quick Reference Threading Charts. (See
pages 42-60.)

Antenna

Extend the antenna pole to its highest position.
(See page 16.)
When threading the antenna thread guide, it is
proper to use either the slot or the hole. The
hole is the recommended method especially
when sewing with decorative threads.
1 Slot
2 Hole
Some tightly twisted threads need special
threading through both the hole and slot.
