Stretch fabric between embroidery hoops
with hole centered. Lower presser bar and
sew at a slow speed moying 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.
TEMPORARY SEWING BY
MACHINE
Regular basting by machine is easy —simply
use straight stitching with longest available
length setting. And your machine has a free
basting method for very long stitches that
sometimes can be used for "marking”.
