Updated: 600 count is the highest.

How do you use Elna Super cams?

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 "-"

What is the best batting to use in a baby quilt?

In my opinion, always use 100% cotton. Very few people are allergic to cotton. Wool batting, or polyester can cause rashes.

Polyester batting will 'crumble' to granules and dust after a few years of repeated washing and abuse. Stick with cotton, especially for baby.

Something else to consider . . . If you are going to hand quilt the baby quilt, use a 'needled cotton batt.' It is easier to quilt. Also, it is a good idea to buy a cotton batting that does not contain little pieces of the 'hull' and seed ( some batts will have bits all through it. ) Those hulls and seeds will eventually bleed small amounts of cotton oil, leaving a stain on the quilt that will NOT wash out.
