5.8 Manual darning

Used for darning holes or worn areas in all fabric types.
If the thread is lying on top and a poor stitch formation results, slow down the movement of the sewing
project. If there are knots on the wrong side of the fabric, move the sewing project faster. When the thread
breaks, guide the sewing project more consistently.
> Attach the Darning foot No. 9 (optional accessory).
> Touch the icon «Practical stitches».
– The Straight stitch No. 1 is selected automatically.
> Lower the feed dog.
> Attach the slide-on table.
> Hoop the sewing project in the round embroidery hoop (optional accessory).
– The darning area stays evenly taut and cannot be distorted.
> Sew from the left to the right, guide the fabric evenly by hand without using pressure.
> Move in curves when changing the direction to avoid holes and thread breakage.
> Work the rows in irregular lengths so that the thread is better spread over the fabric.
> Sew the first rows not too close together and beyond the worn area.
