945 Overlock
NEW! The Elna 945 overlock will delight you with its simple approach to overlocking thanks to the computerized tensions and instructions. It is a 5/4/3/2 thread machine that includes the most desirable stitches, such as wide/narrow/triple cover hems, flatlock variations, rolled hems, seam finishes and a true 5 thread industrial stitch – 24 built-in programs. Expand the program selections with optional PRO Cards™.

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. 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 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 settings, 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.
