To repair a straight or three-cornered
tear, position the tear under the needle
in such a way that the stitching catches
both sides of the tear. When mending a
three-cornered tear, stitch from each
end to the center. It is well to use a piece
of fabric under the tear for reinforce-
ment.
Remove presser foot, stretch fabric be-
tween embroidery hoops with hole
centered. Draw the bobbin thread up
through the fabric by holding the top
thread and taking one stitch at the spot
where you wish to start darning.
Lowering the presser bar, start sewing
at a slow to medium speed. Move the
fabric back and forth with a steady
rhythm to cover the darning area. When
tt is covered, turn the fabric and sew
another layer of stitching across the first
layer of stitching.
