Some
Examples of
Practical
Sewing
Your
instruction
book gives you all the necessary
information
about
how
your
ELNA
works,
but
it
is
not
a sewing
course!
The
following
pages serve as
a complete
guide
for
the
efficient
use
of
your
ELNA.
Other
practical
suggestions
can be given
to
you by your
ELNA
dealer, and by
the
special
booklets you can obtain from him. Find
out
about
these!

Attach
the
darning plate and darning foot.
The
darning
pl
ate
avoids
the
use
of
a
drop
feed
mechanism
and
makes
darning
easier
(without
a darning hoop) by covering up the
openings in
the
needle plate.
o Place the material beneath
the
darning
foot
and
make
sure
to
lower
the
presser
foot
lever before
starting
to
darn.
• Stretch the material
tightly
and place the
fingers
as close
to
the
darning
foot
as
possible
.
o
To
darn a hole, sew a screen
of
closely woven
stitches
:
going
from
right
to
left
and vice versa.
•

Finish
the
darn by sewing parallel serpentines
forward
and reverse.
To
reinforce a
worn-out
spot
,
it
is
not
necessary
•
to
sew a screen first.
For particularly fine darning, the darning plate with
round hole is recommended (see extra accessories.
