Push down the outer ring of the pressure
regulator. This will release the pressure
on the presser foot.
Stretch fabric between embroidery
hoops with hole centered. Lower presser
bar and sew at a slow speed moving
fabric back and forth with a steady
rhythm to cover darning area. When it
is covered, turn fabric 1/4 a turn and
sew layer of stitching across first layer.
If fabric is thin or badly damaged in
hole area, you may want to put a separate
piece under the hole for reinforcement.
Be sure to return pressure on presser
foot to original adjustment after darn­
