Stitches You Can Serger on the Elna 745

  • SAFETY 4 THREAD
    A 3-thread overlock stitch that adds a second
    needle thread. The stitch stretches without
    breaking. The second needle thread
    reinforces the durability and strength of the
    stitch, but the stitch retains its elasticity
  • STRETCH KNIT
    The same characteristics as the Safety 4
    Thread. The Stretch Knit program uses the
    differential feed and stitch length settings to
    prevent knitwear from stretching while sewing
  • 5 THREAD
    A true 5 thread industrial stitch consists of two
    stitches sewn simultaneously. 2 threads form
    the chainstitch and 3 threads form the
    overlock. It is found on medium to
    heavyweight woven fabrics.
  • 3 THREAD WIDE
    Three threads lock together on the fabric edge
    forming a balanced stitch. The overlock stitch
    is suitable for medium to heavyweight fabrics.
  • OVERLOCK 3
    The same characteristics as the 3 Thread
    Wide. This narrower version is suitable for
    light to medium weight fabrics.
    Common Uses
    • Construction method for lingerie.
    • Edge finish on single layer of fabric.
  • FLATLOCK 3
    Three threads form an unbalanced stitch that
    can be pulled open into a flat seam. The seam
    resembles the exposed stitch seen on ready-
    to-wear sweatshirts and knit sportswear.
    Common Uses
    • Construction method for bulky knitwear.
    • Decorative accent.
  • BLANKET
    An edge finish that uses decorative thread in
    the needle. The upper and lower looper
    threads pull the needle thread so it is visible
    on both the top and underside of the fabric.
    Common Uses
    • Edge finish for a single layer of fabric like
    a blanket or felted scarf.
    • Decorative accent.
  • FLATLOCK 2
    The needle and lower looper threads form a
    stitch that can be pulled flat.
    Common Uses
    • Construction method for undergarments.
    • Hemming technique.
  • OVERCAST 2
    The needle and lower looper threads form an
    edge finish that is lightweight and flat.
    Common Uses
    • Finish an open seam edge on lightweight
    fabrics.
  • NARROW HEM 3
    Three threads form a balanced stitch that is a
    great narrow edge finish.
    Common Uses
    • Hemming method for scarves, napkins
    and ruffles.
    • Construction method for undergarments
    made of lightweight knit fabrics
  • ROLLED HEM 2
    The needle and lower looper threads form a
    stitch that rolls the fabric before encasing the
    edge.
    Common Uses
    • Since there are only 2 threads, the result
    is lighter and finer than Rolled Hem 3.
    This is an advantage for lightweight
    fabrics like chiffon and bridal veiling
    edging.
  • STRETCH WRAPPED
    A stretch stitch that uses two needles and the
    lower looper. This is the stitch that has the
    maximum stretch; the second needle thread
    increases the stitch’s durability.
    Common Uses
    • Construction method for exercise and
    swimwear.
  • TRIPLE COVER HEM
    The Triple Cover Hem measures 5.0 mm in
    width. It uses three needles and the chain
    looper to form 3 lines of what looks like
    parallel straight stitches.
    Common Uses
    • Hem finish.
    • Topstitching.
    • Belt loops
  • COVER HEM WIDE
    A version of the cover hem that measures 5.0
    mm in width. The garment industry commonly
    uses this wider width on knitwear.
    Common Uses
    • Hem finish.
    • Topstitching.
    • Belt loops
  • COVER HEM NARROW
    The cover hem measures 2.5 mm in width. It
    uses two needles and the chain looper to form
    what look like parallel straight stitches.
    Common Uses
    • Hem finish on knit fabrics.
    • Topstitching.
    • Pintucks.
  • CHAINSTITCH
    A 2 thread chainstitch or double chainstitch
    uses one needle and the chain looper to form
    a straight stitch. The chainstitch is a stable
    stitch that has a slight amount of stretch not
    present in the straight stitch sewn by a
    conventional sewing machine.
    Common Uses
    • Construction method on woven fabrics to
    create an open seam allowance.
    • Sew knitwear together where the seam
    needs to be stable.
    • Sew on bias tape
