Darning with the straight stitch
• Attach darning foot No. 6. Turn the handwheel toward
you until the needle is set at its highest position. With
thumb and index nger press the darning foot together.
Insert the pin of the darning foot as far as it will go into
the hole of the presser foot holder. The "C-shaped"
guide should place itself around the presser bar. The
long, plastic arm must be behind the needle clamp/
needle set screw. Tighten the set screw.
• Darning position: Lower the presser bar lifter slowly
and push it to the rear until it engages in the darning
position. In this position the thread tension is engaged
for darning.
• Lower the feed dog.
• Draw up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when
you start sewing.
• Repair the damaged area/hole by guiding the fabric
evenly forwards and backwards. The length of the seam
is determined by the size of the hole.
• When you have covered the width of the damaged area,
turn the fabric 90 degrees and stitch over the area again.
Darning in both directions over a tear will produce a
stronger repair.
Tip: Remember, when sewing with the feed dogs lowered, the
stitch length is determined by you. An even, medium-to-fast
sewing speed will allow you to sew a more consistent length
of straight stitch. Sewing too slowly may cause small knots
to appear on the reverse side of your work
