Free-Motion Darning - No 1 And 3 - Pfaff perfomance 2058 Owner's Manual

Free-motion darning – No 1 and 3
• Remove the standard presser foot. Make sure the needle is at its
highest position. Carefully loosen the screw (A) until the cross hole
(B) is accessible. Squeeze the darning foot gently together and guide
the pin of the foot into the cross hole of the presser foot holder as
far as it will go. The black "C-shaped" guide should place itself
around the presser bar. The long, plastic arm must be behind the
needle set screw. Tighten the screw (A).
• Lower the feed dogs. Hoop your project to be repaired in a round
embroidery hoop.
• Select straight stitch no. 1 or zigzag stitch no. 3. Select the free-
motion sewing icon in the more options window (8). As you begin
sewing, the darning foot automatically engages in the darning
position.
• Draw up the bobbin thread and sew a few stitches to secure. Cut
the threads close to the project and continue sewing.
• Repair the damaged area/hole by guiding the fabric evenly
forwards and backwards slightly longer than the length of the
repair area.
• When you have covered 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.
• To remove the darning foot loosen the screw (A), squeeze the foot
together and pull it out to the right. Tighten the screw (A).
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.
