What is stitch length regulator?

The stitch regulator allows you to control both the length and the width of the stitch. The length of the stitch depends on the fabric you are sewing and how small or large you want the stitches to be (for example, if you're basting something together, you'd change the stitch length regulator to a higher number). The width of the stitch is controlled when sewing with an alternative stitch, such as a zigzag.

Adjust Elna SU machine as follows: Set the stitch width knob and the stitch length dial at 0 If there is another Elna-disc in the automatic stitch control (called the elnagraph), remove it by pressing the button Put the Elna-disc you want to use in the Elna graph with the circular mark over the driving pin and press the Elna disc down For single elna discs: Use embroidery and buttonhole foor for filled designs with raised effect and the sewing foot for linear stitches iwthout any raised effect. 1. After inserting the Elna-disc in the Elnagraph, and with the stitch width knob and the stitch length dial on "0", turn: 2. the selector to A (automatic) 3. the needle position to the centered position (red mark) 4. the stitch width knob with the straight mark on top to a position between 1 and 4, as desired 5. the stitch length dial to a position between 1/4 and 4, as desired 6. the stitch is then sewn automatically 7. Position the circle on the Elna-disc opposite the white arrow, by turning the flywheel; this shows the beginning and the end of each automatic stitch or design. For double elna discs: Use embroidery and buttonhole foor for filled designs with raised effect and the sewing foot for linear stitches iwthout any raised effect. 1. After inserting the Elna-disc in the Elnagraph, and with the stitch width knob and the stitch length dial on "0", turn: 2. the selector to A (automatic) 3. the needle position to the centered position (red mark) 4. the stitch width knob with the straight mark on top to a position between 1 and 4, as desired 5. the stitch length dial on A, as desired 6. the stitch is then sewn automatically 7. With the stitch length dial at A, the stitch length should normally be correct. However, for certain very intricate stitches (true hemstitiching with disc 101, 126, 140 or 142) sewn with double Elna-discs, it may be desirable to lengthen or shorten the pattern to adapt it better to the material and thread used. 8. If the stitch is too short ant A, turn the dial to "+". 9. If the stitch is too long a A, turn the dial to "-"
