How to spend your
leisure time...
This machine does it all – from just-for-fun creations to elegant embroidery.
With the Xplore computerized sewing and embroidery machine, one minute
you'll be sewing an apron for gardening, the next you'll be embellishing it with
embroidery. And there's also a wonderful selection of quilting and heirloom
stitches available, if that's where your interest lies. As always, Elna provides you
the latest in technology; now it's up to you to set aside the time to enjoy it.

... with Elna and the Xplore 8600!
Your leisure time should be just that – leisure time.
The skilled experts at Elna have designed the Xplore with you in mind.
Check out these features that will prove to be invaluable.
Now it's up to you.
Don't you love using the st art/stop key when
embroidering? You'll find it just as valuable
for traditional sewing. Simply unplug the foot
control and press the key.
Easy to navigate.
The large, color LCD touch screen
guides you through. Whether it's
information, instructions or advisory
messages, everything is simple
and clear, right in plain sight.
Look how easy !
Pull down the lever, position the
thread and the needle is threaded.
Works first time, every time.
Great for all those color changes.
Smart and informative.
Everything's set, but the machine
won't sew. What happened?
Did you lower the presser foot ?
Did you thread the machine ?
The Xplore 8600 will let you know!
It's all there !
No separate unit to attach, the carriage
is built-in. One minute you're inserting
a zipper, the next you're embroidering.
And the feed dog adjusts itself
to the task automatically.
Pick and choose.
Want to use the fish but not
the background? Just touch the
screen to skip over the colors
or parts you don't want. You'll even
see the screen recalculate the real
sewing time.
The tools you need.
Need help laying out your embroidery ?
Use the design and hoop templates
included with the 8600. The templates
along with the hoop positioning keys
assure perfect design placement.
For the next time.
Unlimited memory capacity. Save to the
machine or to an optional card. Now you
can better organize your files by assigning
a name. The names are then automatically
alphabetized – so convenient.

Have some fun.
Come explore all the decorative possibilities. Choose from
cross stitches, quilt stitches, heirloom stitches, florals, satin
stitches, a comprehensive alphabet. Looking for more?
Simply switch to embroidery mode and you're ready
to embroider a built-in design or alphabet.
An elegant way to say, " It's mine !"
Two or three letter monograms are so easy
to embroider. You can add a classic frame and even encase
the monogram within other designs. Or if you want to embroider
your entire name, select from Gothic, Script or Cheltenham fonts.
All of these styles are built-in, ready to embroider.
Recipe for success.
We've given you the standard version of the stitch.
Now it's up to you to personalize it. Elongate satin stitches
up to 5 times their original length. Use mirror image
to flip stitches for a different effect. And, of course,
you can change the width and length of any
of our stitches. What delicious ingredients!
Just the way I want it !
See it all come together before embroidering.
Arrange one or more designs in the window with the drag
and drop feature. Take it a step further and use resize, mirror
image, face to face or rotation to refine the components
until you're pleased with the results.
Be creative with the free arm?
Yes! Save all your thread and fabric scraps. Sandwich them
between layers of wash-away stabilizer, and sew continuously
around the free arm to weave unique, custom-made fabric
for decorative accents. Another thought – use the optional
free arm hoop to embroider cuffs and pant legs.
Torn seams, missing buttons?
As creative as you are, sometimes you still need to be practical.
Reinforce belt loops with sturdy bartacks and pleats with
arrowtacks. Make durable buttonholes and securely attach
the buttons. Of course these elements can be creative as well.
Sew buttons around a pocket area. Instead of a zipper, create
a lacing effect with eyelets. Anything goes.
