The Elna 945!
|
*NEW!
The Elna 945
is an elegant yet practical
5/4/3/2 thread overlock that offers everyting a sewer could want in one machine. From
wide, narrow, and triple cover hems, to flatlocks, overlocks, and rolled hems, this
5-thread serger whizzes through any project with fantastic results. |
Description:
Choose from 24 sewing programs on the new Elna 945, including the 5-thread, the garment industry
standard for construction. Or for stretchability, select the 3-thread overlock, 4-thread overlock
or the stretch wrapped stitch. The narrow hem and rolled hem programs give beautiful edge
finishes on napkins, ruffles, and scarves. The flatlock allows decorative stripes to be made
without cutting the fabric and can also be used on the exposed seam of a sweatshirt, commonly
seen in ready-to-wear. And the chainstitch can be sewn anywhere in the fabric for construction
or decorative purposes.
Use:
If these 24 stitches aren't enough, there are currently 24 applications available
by use of ProCards (shown on right). These cards allow you to increase the potential of the Elna 945
by making
it a truly updateable overlock. Stitches can be programmed onto ProCards, just like a computer
disk. Each ProCard has 3 pre-programmed stitches built-in and three blank spaces for you to
program in your favorite settings. |

The Elna ProCards!
Using an Elna PRO Card'
with one of the 900 series of overlocks
forms a valuable partnership.
Insert a PRO Card and watch other stitch programs appear.
The NEW Elna 945
features a comprehensive computer display screen with easy to read symbols.
The screen provides all the necessary information for flawless sewing. The symbols indicate
stitch length, differential feed settigs, needle and upper looper position, cutting blade and cutting
width position, and the correct presser foot to use. Each stitch program has automatic computerized
tensions. Asterisks in the tension window indicate which tension disc and guides to thread.
The 945 simplifies threading with the aid of color coded threading paths, easy to read charts, and
self-threading chain and lower loopers. |
