If you've ever wished threading a serger could be easier, the Elna eXtend 864air was made with you in mind.

With its one-push air-threading system, built-in needle threader, and versatile overlock stitches, this machine takes much of the frustration out of serging so you can spend more time making the things you love.

From comfortable knit garments to beautifully finished woven seams, the eXtend 864air brings professional-looking results and everyday convenience to your sewing room.

Why You'll Love the Elna eXtend 864air

One-Push Air Threading: Thread both the upper and lower loopers using a burst of air, rather than guiding thread through each looper by hand.

Built-in Needle Threader: Easily thread either needle position using the convenient threading mechanism.

13 Stitch Programs: Explore overlock seams, stretch-knit stitches, rolled hems, flatlocking, gathering, and decorative finishing techniques.

2-, 3-, and 4-Thread Stitching: Choose the right configuration for constructing seams, finishing edges, and creating decorative details.

8-Piece Feed Dog System: Helps feed fabrics smoothly and consistently, including stretchy and lightweight materials.

Up to 1,300 Stitches Per Minute: Finish seams and fabric edges efficiently, with adjustable sewing speed.

Adjustable Differential Feed: Fine-tune fabric feeding from 0.5 to 2.0 to help reduce unwanted stretching or puckering.

Five-Level Presser Foot Pressure: Adjust how the machine handles different fabric weights and textures.

Built-in Two-Thread Converter: Switch to supported two-thread stitching techniques without needing a separate converter attachment.

Instant Rolled Hem: Easily change to a narrow, decorative edge finish.

Adjustable Cutting Width: Customize the cutting width from 3.3 to 7.5 mm for different fabrics and seam finishes.

Adjustable Stitch Length: Choose stitch lengths from 1 to 5 mm.

Color-Coded Threading Guides: Clearly marked thread paths make machine setup easier.

Built-in Thread Cutter: Conveniently trim your thread chains as you sew.

LED Lighting: Bright illumination helps you see your stitching area.

Waste Tray: Collect fabric trimmings to help keep your sewing space tidy.

Air Threading Makes a Difference

Threading a traditional serger can be one of the trickiest parts of getting started. The Elna eXtend 864air helps simplify that process.

Insert your thread into the appropriate looper-threading port and activate the air-threading mechanism. A burst of air carries the thread through the looper.

The built-in needle threader helps with the needles, too.

Whether you're changing thread colors or setting up for your next project, these convenient features make it easier to get back to sewing.

13 Stitch Programs for Creative Finishing

Four-Thread Stitches: Standard overlock, stretch-knit stitching, decorative overedging, and gathering.

Three-Thread Stitches: Regular and wide overlock, rolled hem, narrow hem, picot hem, flatlock, and pintuck techniques.

Two-Thread Stitches: Flatlock and rolled hem.

From sturdy garment seams to delicate decorative edges, the eXtend 864air gives you plenty of ways to finish your projects beautifully.

Serger vs. Coverstitch Machine

The Elna eXtend 864air is an overlock serger, designed to trim fabric edges and create overlock seams.

A dedicated coverstitch machine, such as the Elna eXtend covermax, creates stretchy hems and decorative coverstitches.

Both are useful garment-sewing tools, but they serve different purposes. The eXtend 864air does not create traditional coverstitches.
