Darning Holes or Worn areas
preparation
► lower the feed-dog
► attach the Slide-on table
► hoop the fabric into the darning hoop (optional acces-
sory). The darning area stays evenly taut and cannot be
distorted
Sewing
► work from left to right without using pressure
► when changing direction on top and on bottom, move in
curves (avoid points as this prevents holes and thread
breakage)
► work in different lengths so that the thread is better
spread over the fabric
► Darning foot no. 9
poor stitch formation
► if the thread is lying on the right side of the
fabric, the hoop is being moved too quickly
► if there are knots on the wrong side of the
fabric, the hoop is being moved too slowly
thread breaks
If thread breakage is a problem, it could be
that the hoop is not being moved smoothly.
