Darning stitch
Position the fabric so that the needle is 2mm (1/16
➎
inch) in front of the area to be darned, and then lower
the presser foot.
NOTE: When lowering the presser foot, do not push in
the front of the presser foot, otherwise the darning will
not be sewn with the correct size.
Pass the upper thread down through the hole in the
➏
presser foot. Pull down the buttonhole lever. The
buttonhole lever is positioned behind the bracket on
the buttonhole foot. Gently hold the end of the upper
thread in your left hand, and then start sewing.
Please note: When you select any buttonhole pattern or
darning pattern, the LCD screen will display the figure
to remind you to lower the buttonhole lever.
Darning stitches are sewn from the front of the
➐
presser foot to the back, as shown.
If the area to be sewn is large, you may sew several
➑
times across the area to achieve the desired result.
