for darning and mending tears.
• Seam finishing
Place fabric under the presser foot in such a manner that
the edge is slightly inside the right-hand side of the
presser foot. Guide the fabric so that the right hand
stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.
• Mending
Position tear under the needle so that the stitch catches
both sides,
