Top-Stitching

contrasting color to your fabric.

2 . Stitch 3/8 inch from the edge on top of the
fabric.

slow speed. ^
3. Move the fabric back and forth with a
steady rhythm until you have covered the
darning area.
4. When the area is covered, turn the fabric
so that you can repeat the procedure
across the first stitches.
NOTE: If the garment is badly damaged, you
may want to put a separate piece of
fabric under the hole to reinforce it.
