The stitch quality is excellent even at speeds of 1000 stitches per minute whilst the special built-in features will help you cope with almost any sewing challenge.
The eXcellence 680 Features What comes with my machine?
Elna equips every machine with some basic standard accessories so you can start sewing right after you take your machine out of the box! These vary from model to model so here’s a list of what comes with the eXcellence 680:
These accessories are fitted into the carton by Elna. We recommend all packaging and labelling is kept somewhere safe as it has all the specially designed packing foam to transport your machine safely! Whether it’s storage, moving house, bringing it in for servicing or shipping a machine through post – for whichever reason, this box is essential in keeping your sewing machine damage-free! What’s so great about these accessories? A FootYou can get away with most projects with only one sewing foot – but geez don’t some of these specialty feet make jobs so much easier?! All sewing machines will have a straight and a zig zag stitch, with some variations in between at the most basic level. Your most common sewing foot will be your Zigzag Foot or ‘A’ Foot. It has both a vertical and horizontal slot to accommodate needle movement in either direction. PD-HWhether it’s darning over a tear or using your machine to create free-motion quilt designs, the PD-H foot is an absolute must have for quilters. The clear view foot with guide presses down on your fabric via a spring, providing stability and a neater finish while presser foot pressure is reduces and feed dogs are dropped. Also use with applique to attach embellishments and labels.   E FootBut what else? We buy sewing machines for mending and making clothing, accessories and decor crafts. Zippers feature in all areas of craft and sometimes it’s not as simple as sewing two pieces of fabric together. For these, there are several variations of specially designed feet. With the eXcellence 680 you receive the common Zipper ‘E’ Foot, with a clip-bar on both the left and right allowing you to get as close as possible to either side of a zipper track. G FootThere’s almost a foot for everything! The eXcellence680 comes with a Blind Hem Foot, with a centre guide and rivets in the underside to stitch consistently a blind hem – perfect for trousers and skirts.   C FootDon’t have an overlocker? Not to worry! While some sewists use a simple zig zag stitch to finish edges and prevent them from fraying, this Overedge foot provides the forming fingers to keep fabric from gathering and a built-in guide to help you sew over the fabric evenly. Just cut your edges neatly and use this foot to achieve clean finishes for your projects! O FootStruggling to keep seams straight? This 1/4″ seam foot is the most popular seam guide accessory for achieving straight even seams every time! The guide attachment extended before the foot guides your fabric in at a consistent width. Never unpick your seams again!   F FootWhat about more decorative projects? You might find that a nice satin stitch along the hem may be a nice touch, or are looking to use one of the many applique stitches to attach patches, accent clothes and bags but they just don’t work properly with the standard A foot… For these we use a Satin Stitch or ‘F’ Foot, designed to be a clear view short nosed foot for a better finish. R FootWhat’s this about ‘automatic buttonholes’? Yes! This machine can do a buttonhole in one easy step. Unlike older machines that force you to pencil out the measurement and turn the dial at every corner, the automatic buttonhole ‘R’ foot uses your button of choice at one end to automatically size up the perfect buttonhole and frames it up for easy sewing, all it takes is lowering the button sew lever and away you go! For difficult to sew fabrics, there’s also a stabiliser provided.  Buttons are painstakingly tedious sometimes, so Janome created this simple button-sew foot for use with simple flat buttons. Holding your button in place, the Button Sew Foot uses specific settings to line up you button and sew directly through the holes and onto your garment. Perfect for shirts and button down dresses where there’s just too many to sew by hand… BobbinsNow one thing we can never have too many of are the Janome Universal Plastic Bobbins. This is the little spool that you use in the bottom of your machine to help form the stitch, and you use the bobbin winder on top of your machine to wind your choice of thread so your colours match on both sides of the fabric. Most modern machines prefer the use of plastic bobbins because unless advised otherwise, metal bobbins can damage your machine.   NeedlesYou can’t sew without needles! Janome includes a small pack of mixed sharp needles to help you get started. Sharps are your standard sewing needle, and range in sizes depending on the weight of fabric you need them for. The average sewing fabric uses a size 14 sharp needle, and it’s recommended that you change your needle every 6-8 sewing hours – even if it’s not broken they can go blunt! There are many types too, so don’t forget to browse other needle types for your next project. Spool HoldersMost sewing machines will now provide horizontal spool caps or holders, so the thread winds off the spool the same way it has been wound on, in an even and consistent manner. To keep the spool from dancing around, Janome provides spool caps to affix your thread and help it unwind properly. You receive both small and large spool caps, but we recommend the small for most threads as it doesn’t interfere with the path of smaller spools.   Additional Spool PinWhy do you need an additional spool pin? Sometimes you might want to mix two coloured threads together, or make use of a twin or triple needle. Where are you going to put that extra spool? Janome includes an additional spool pin with the eXcellence680 which you insert into a small slot on the top of the machine. Simple hold all your desired threads together and draw the through the machine as normal and thread the needles via left and right. All other standard accessories are little things to help maintain your machine, like lint brushes for cleaning out the bobbin case, and a screw key so you can get to the bobbin case. If you have any other enquires about these items, just let us know and we can help you identify them and their potential uses. We hope this helps you know what you’re looking for. You’re another step closer to finding your perfect machine!
