Darning
Worn or torn spots on children’s clothes and
household linens can be darned effortlessly
and quickly with little practice. When greater
control is needed, an embroidery hoop and
a special darning and embroidery foot, which
may be purchased at your SINGER stockist
should be used.

Attach feed cover plate (F).
If the area to be darned is open, baste a
backing on the underside.
Place area to be darned, right side up,
under presser foot; lower the foot and begin
stitching, alternately drawing the fabric
toward you and pulling it gently away from
you.
Continue this forward and backward
motion as you fill the area in with parallel
lines of stitching.
Quilting
Quilting is the art of stitching two or more
thicknesses of fabric together in a planned
design. A padding is used to produce a soft,
puffed effect.

Mark the design or quilting lines with a
tailors chalk or a washable marker on the
right side of garment.
Place a wadding, or padding, over the
underside of garment and cover it with a
backing or lining fabric.
Baste together to prevent the layers from
moving.
Place fabrics under needle and carefully
begin to stitch along your marked pattern
on the fabric.
If you are quilting a very large piece, work
from the centre of the fabric to the outside
edge and guide fabric with both hands.
