She sewed a lot of my sister's and my clothes and did tailoring. One neat thing about the Elna is that if you want to use a decorative thread like a metallic that won't go through the tension discs, put it in the bobbin. Instead of running it through the tension on the bobbin, there is a hole in the bobbin case that you can run it out of. You do your embroidery with the wrong side of the fabric facing up and the bobbin thread on the bottom is the embroidery that shows when you're done. Hope this makes sense, I remember helping a friend with a costume and machine embroidering a gold metallic greek key design on the hem and sleeves this way.Alicenoreply@blogger.com
