Elna eXtend 664 Overlocker Review

0 comments

What are you looking for in your next, or even first, overlocker?

Do you want it to be easy to use and beginner friendly? Does it need to be small in order to fit into your sewing space? Or are you looking for something that’s not overly complicated in how many stitches it can sew or to thread? Are you looking for something that is affordable?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you’ll want to take a closer look at the Elna eXtend 664 Overlocker! This overlocker cuts, hems and sews in one easy step every time you sit down to use it!

You’ll love how affordable this overlocker is, that’s for sure! It’s a great machine for anyone who wants to try out an overlocker without putting down a lot of money. It also makes this machine an affordable gift for that special sewist in your life.

This machine is truly one that’s compact. It’s the perfect size for any sewing space, meaning that it will not only fit nicely on a table if you prefer to keep it out and ready to use, but it also stores away in a closet or under a bed without any fuss so that you can use your workspace for other projects. Having a compact overlocker is great for anyone who might use it occasionally or needs to be able to share their workspace.

The Elna eXend 664 Overlocker, while compact and beginner-friendly, is not lacking in stitches, though. You’ll be able to use 3 or 4 threads for 7 unique stitch variations- including a rolled hem for those delicate and decorative edges! Every one of these stitches are great for different purposes, and you’ll be able to get to know each of them as you continue to use the eXtend 664 and create more and more beautiful garments and soft home furnishings.

We know that threading an overlocker sounds intimidating. We’ve all heard the horror stories, but don’t fret with the Elna eXtend 664! You’ll find that this machine is very easy to thread once you get the hang of it. Elna makes it easy to thread with colour coded tension dials and dots that you simply follow with your thread.

One feature this machine has that other overlockers in the same price range may be lacking is that is has adjustable presser foot pressure. That means that you can easily control the amount of pressure the presser foot puts down onto the fabric. If you work with delicate fabrics much of the time, this is certainly a feature you want on your overlocker! Being able to adjust the pressure that the presser foot puts on the fabric in order to feed it through the machine will help you feed any kind of fabric through the machine with ease, without tearing or shredding your fabric as you work.

For an inexpensive, compact machine, you might think that it doesn’t come with a whole lot of accessories.
