Quilting
Piecing Fabrics Together
Accuracy is the key when sewing together fabric pieces
for a quilt. Be sure to precisely cut your fabric pieces with
6.5 cm (1/4˝) seam allowances.
Select 1.
Touch “Adjust” key and move needle position to 5.5.
A 1/4˝ seam can be sewn by using needle position 5.5
and the edge of the “A” presser foot. Align fabric edges
(right sides together) under foot edge and sew 1/4˝
seam.
NOTE: Elna offers a 1/4˝ foot and a scant 1/4˝ foot as
optional accessories. These feet have a guide for the
fabric edge to lie against; sewing results are very
accurate.
Quilt Guide
The quilt guide is helpful when sewing parallel, evenly
spaced rows of stitching.
Loosen the quilt guide holding screw q, slide the quilt
guide in the opening w until the desired width is set and
tighten the screw.

Use a washable marker to draw the first line for stitching.
Sew over line. When sewing subsequent rows of
stitching, the quilt guide will rest on the previous row of
stitching.
NOTE: The quilt guide can also be used with the optional
walking foot or open toe walking foot.
