When darning flat work, it is advisable to use
embroidery hoops to hold the work.
Place work with unworn part near hole under
needle. Commence darning by making a line
of stitches across hole a little longer than width
of hole. Continue making parallel lines of
stitches across hole, moving work backward
and forward and at the same time gradually
moving work sidewise until hole is covered
with lines of stitches running across hole. Then
commence as before and move work length­
wise of hole until stitches across hole are com­
pletely covered and darn is finished.
When darning or embroidering is completed,
turn thumb screw
JJ, Fig. 74 over toward
you as far as it will go, using a screwdriver.
Raise presser bar lifter T, Fig. 17, replace
presser foot and reset stitch regulating lever
Y, Fig. 18 for desired length of stitch.
