DARNING
Worn or torn areas on household
textiles and clothing can be darned
effortlessly and quickly with little
practice. Adjust Stitch Length Reg
ulator for desired stitch length and
decrease pressure by turning thumb
screw up (see page 19). The pressure
should be lighter than for normal
sewing but not too light to prevent
work from feeding smoothly.
Place portion to be darned under
the presser foot. Lower presser bar
and start stitching, alternately allow
ing fabric to feed normally away
from you and then gently pulling
fabric toward you. Continue this for
ward and backward motion until area
to be darned is filled with parallel
lines of stitching. For reinforcement
or additional strength, cover area with
cross-side lines of stitching. Open
areas
require
an
underlay.
