Drop the feed dogs (see above) and remove the presser

foot. Center the hole in the fabric on an embroidery hoop,

as shown. Lower the presser bar and sew at a slow speed.
Move the fabric back and forth slowly until the darning area
is covered. Turn the fabric a 1/4 turn (90°), and sew
another layer of stitching over the first layer.

NOTE:

If the fabric is thin or badly damaged, use a separate

piece of fabric under the hole to reinforce it._______
