Feet?

    Feet?
    on: August 08, 2008, 06:34:28 PM
    I was given an Elnasuper sewing machine, a whole bunch of embroidery cams and 8 different feet. I have no idea what the feet are used for. Actually, since I've been reading through all these tutorials, I've figured out that one is a hemming foot and one is used for making binding tape... but the rest have me stumped.

    Does anyone know of a resource for identifying the uses of all these different feet?

      First, what an awesome gift!  One of the feet in your picture is a zipper foot:)  I'm a relative sewing newbie, and I don't recognize them all,either!

      Did the machine come with a manual?  If not, perhaps you could order one online somewhere. Also, does Elna have a website you can refer to?  I sew with a Janome, and that's what I have done.  I just pull up my machine, search the accessories, and then I can see all of the available feet and their uses. 

      Good luck!

        Thanks Monica!  I never thought to check the machine's website.  I have a Janome as well and have never gotten my "ruffler" foot to work right.  I'm going to check out how to use the darn thing asap.

          first row: I belive the seconde from left in the first row is the bias binding foot. and the other two, i don't see the difference are satin stitch foot or zigzag foot and is transparant for applique.
          second row: free motion foot, zipper foot
          the rest I didn''t recognize.

            Sorry, I never replied as to what the feet were!  I found this site which helped to identify these: http://www.whitesewingcenter.com/elnaparts.php

            Starting at the top left:
            hemming foot
            bias binding foot
            clear embroidery/buttonhole combination foot
            clear buttonhole foot

            Second row:
            free motion/darning foot
            zipper foot
            multiple cord foot
            pin tuck foot

            Looks like a lot of great feet.  Have fun!
