Triangular Tears
Triangular tears are best darned by
placing the torn
section between
hoops
and
making close
stitches
across and lengthwise. Move work
under the needle with both hands.
Thin Spots
Remember that "a stitch in time sa
ves nine" and reinforce spots that
have worn thin with short stitches
made lengthwise and across worn
section. This job can be done with
out foot too.
Small Holes
Darn small and medium-size holes
by trimming ragged edges with the
fabric grain. First stitch back and forth
across the hole from one side to the
other with the machine running at
high speed. Then turn the fabric at
right angles and sew back and forth
over preceding work with short stit

hoop, the damaged area being in the
ches. Make sure the stitches are ta
ken right into the good material.
Long Rips
may be darned with the normal sew
ing foot and without hoops. Raise feed
dog and use forward-reverse feed
control.
