Darning with the elastic stitch E
Darning with the elastic stitch is especially
suitable for repairing damaged areas.
• Sew over the damaged area in rows un-
til it is well covered. Take care to ensure
that the rows overlap.

Sewing on patches

To cover larger holes well, it is neces-
sary to sew a new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area.
• Baste the new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area of the face side of the
fabric.
• Sew over the fabric edges with the elas-
tic stitch.
• Trim the damaged area back to the
seam from the reverse side of the fab-
ric.
Tip: To simplify turning the corners of
the patch, turn the handwheel until the
needle is in the fabric. Raise the press-
er foot and pivot the fabric.
