Students need to know how to stitch a built-in design for the following reasons:
-
Load designs on the machine

Load the hoop, with fabric and stabilizer, onto the machine

Now it's your turn! Reread the "Selecting the Built-in Designs" instructions near the Elna 970. Find all of the parts of the machine and buttons mentioned in the text.

Step 3:
Stitch a Built-in Design
