ELNA Zig Zag Cl. 21 User Manual

Straight Sewing
Important Characteristics:
The Universal Pressure of the Foot
The ideal pressure has been adjusted at the fac-
tory-for both sheer and heavy materials-so that
no further adjustment is required.
For
the preparation of your ELNA, the feet to use
and
for the adjustments, see chart on page 28.
Normal Straight Sewing
Use the presser foot (see page 4).
Place the material under the foot.
Lower the presser foot lever.
Adjustments
• Stitch length knob on position 1-4.
For
ELNA Zig Zag and ELNA Special:
Stitch width lever at "0".
Needle position wheel at the center position (red
mark).
Fig.35
Forward Stitching
Set stitch length knob at desired length from 1-4
(black numbers).
Adapt the stitch length to the kind of work and the
thickness of the material used, i.e. short stitches
for fine material, longer stitches for heavy material:
The two threads should be held back while
sewing the first two or three stitches.
Fig.36-37
Reverse Stitching
(a) For a short distance to finish off or to make
a short seam:
Push the lever. When it is released, the ELNA
automatically goes back to forward stitching
(fig.36).
(b) Prolonged Use:
Turn the stitch length knob between 1 and 4,
red numbers (fig.37).
In
principle, straight sewing does not require other
adjustments. The tension of the threads is uni·
versal-see next page.
Fig.38
Removing the Material
• Turn the flywheel towards you to raise the
thread take-up lever.
• Lift up the presser foot lever.
• Pull
out the material towards the back and cut
the thread with the thread cutter on the presser
bar.
