Stitch Length; Cutting Width - ELNA 745 User Manual

Stitch Length

The fabric weight and fiber content may
require the SL (stitch length) to be adjusted.
Stitch length may be set between 0.5 and 5.
Set a shorter stitch length for lightweight or
sheer fabrics. Set a longer stitch length for
heavyweight or bulky fabrics.
NOTE: Always set the SL dial at 2.5 or higher
when sewing a chainstitch or cover hem.
NOTE: The stitch length readout for the
Cover Hem stitches is 3.0. This is the correct
setting for two-three layers of light to medium
weight fabric. Stitch length should be
increased to 3.5 or 4 on heavy fabrics or when
sewing over bulky seams while hemming.

Cutting Width

The fabric weight and the number of fabric
layers may require the cutting width dial to be
adjusted. Fabric should lie flat inside the
overlock stitch without loops or tunneling.
Loops
The cutting width is set narrower than the
stitch width. Move the cutting blades to the
right by turning the cutting width dial up
(clockwise).
Tunneling
The cutting width is set wider than the stitch
width. Move the cutting blades to the left by
turning the cutting width dial down
(counterclockwise).
