For darning, first sew around the edge of the hole (to secure
the threads). (5)
Free motion darning is accomplished without the sewing
machine internal feed system. Movement of the fabric is
controlled by the operator. It is necessary to coordinate
sewing speed and movement of fabric.
Using the optional darning/
embroidery foot will help guide you as you sew, in a
meandering fashion to create small curving lines to hold
layers of fabric and batting together.
Darning:
Remove the presser foot shank. (3)
Attach the
to the presser foot bar.
The lever (a) should be behind the needle clamp screw (b).
Press the
on firmly from behind with
your index finger and tighten the screw (c). (4)
First row: Always work from left to right. Turn work by 90° and
sew over previous stitching. A darning hoop is recommended
for easier sewing and better results.
Note:
Stippling:
Set the machine for straight stitch.
