Elna 8600 Xplore
This machine does it all –
from just-for-fun creations to elegant embroidery. With the Xplore
computerized sewing and embroidery machine, one minute you'll be sewing an
apron for gardening, the next you'll be embellishing it with embroidery.
And there's also a wonderful selection of quilting and heirloom stitches
available, if that's where your interest lies.

A must for
embroidery, now you'll find the Start/Stop key just as
valuable for traditional sewing. It's so handy for applications like
buttonholes, eyelets, bartacks, etc. - anything that requires a
steady, consistent speed.

You'll like the
built-in carriage. No separate embroidery unit to attach,
remove and store. One minute you're inserting a zipper, the next
you're embroidering. And the feed dog adjusts itself to the
task as needed. It automatically drops down when embroidery sewing,
basting stitch or button sewing is selected. Select a different
stitch and the feed dog rises into place.
|
| |
|
The large, color
LCD screen (94 mm x 71 mm – 3 ¾" x 2 ¾") guides you through.
Just a light touch accesses information, instructions and advisory
messages. Everything is clear and concise, right in plain sight.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Come explore all the
decorative possibilitiesChoose from cross stitches, quilt
stitches, heirloom stitches, florals, satin stitches, a
comprehensive alphabet. Looking for more? Simply switch to
embroidery mode and you're ready to embroider a built-in design or
alphabet.

|
With Elna's
one-step needle threader, simply pull down the lever,
position the thread and the needle is threaded. It works first time,
every time and is great for all those color changes.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Sensors built into the machine help prevent those common "operator error"
mistakes. Everything's set, but the machine won't sew. What
happened? Did you lower the presser foot? Did you thread the
machine? On-screen advisory messages tell you what
to do.
|
| |
|
Manipulate the
stitch to your liking. Elongate satin stitches up to 5 times
their original length. Change width and length. Use mirror image to
flip stitches for a different effect.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Sometimes you might
want to use just part of a design. A simple touch on the screen lets
you skip those colors or parts you don't want. Watch the
screen recalculate the real sewing time.
|
| |
|
For perfect
embroidery design placement, use the design and hoop
templates included with the 8600. The templates along with the
hoop positioning keys provide all the help you need to lay
out your design just the way you want it.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Make sure your design
is just the way you want it before you start to embroider. Use the
drag and drop feature to arrange one or more designs in the
window. Then resize, rotate, flip horizontally or vertically
to refine the components.
|
| |
|
Yes, you can do more with the free arm. Save all your
thread and fabric scraps. Sandwich them between layers of wash-away
stabilizer, and sew continuously around the free arm to weave
unique, custom-made fabric for decorative accents. Another thought –
use the optional free arm hoop to embroider cuffs and pant
legs.
|
|
| |
|
 |
There's unlimited
memory capacity on the Elna Xplore. Save your files directly to
the machine or to an optional card. You can even assign a name to
the files, which are then automatically alphabetized.
|
| |
|
Personalize practically
anything with the two or three letter monograms.
Add a classic frame or encase the monogram within other designs.
Select from Gothic, Script or Cheltenham built-in
fonts to embroider your entire name.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
The Elna Xplore also handles practical tasks with skill.
Reinforce belt loops with sturdy bartacks and pleats with
arrowtacks. Make durable buttonholes and securely attach
buttons. Of course these elements can be creative as well. Sew
buttons around a pocket area. Instead of a zipper, create a lacing
effect with eyelets.

latest in technology; now it's up to you to set aside the time to enjoy
it.
