The easy-to-use Elna 845 and the Elna 745
give you professionally finished seams,
quickly sewing and trimming at the same time.
You have a choice of a wide range of built-in
stitches, too. The 845 model offers a new
feature – top cover hem stitch.
Now you can sew three different widths
of top covers (triple, wide and narrow)
showing covering loops on both sides
of the fabric.
A superior hemming
method for delicate
ruffles and sheer fabrics.
Great for seams that need to move with
your body (a swimsuit) without breaking
or losing their original shape.
For stable and durable
finished seams - the
industry standard.
