Stretch tightly the article to be repaired in an
embroidery hoop and place below the needle by
tilting the edge of the hoop. Then lower the presser
bar by means of its lifter, and adjust the height of
the darning foot to allow just sufficient space for the
free movement of the work in hand. After ad­
justment, tighten the thumb screw securely. Now
move the hoop backward and forward by the hands
until the hole or damaged part is completely
covered with stitching in one direction. Then
turn the work and stitch across to complete the
darn. After darning, reinsert and firmly tighten
the screw A in the lower hole, and replace the
presser foot for ordinary sewing.
