Basic Sewing Procedures
Free Motion Darning, Embroidery and Monogramming
Darning
• First sew around the edges of the hole (to secure the
threads).
• Working from left to right, sew over the hole in a con-
stant and continuous movement.
• Turn the work by 1/4 (90°) and sew over the first stitch-
ing moving the work slowly over the hole to separate
the rows and to avoid big gaps between them.
• Remove the presser foot holder, and attach the darning
foot to the presser foot holder bar.
• The lever (a) should be behind the needle clamp screw
(b). Press the darning foot on firmly from behind with
your index finger and tighten the screw (c).
• Move the feed dog control to lower the feed dog (b).
Free motion darning is accomplished without the internal
feed system of the sewing machine. The movement of the
fabric is controlled by the operator. It is necessary to
coordinate sewing speed and movement of fabric.
