Utility stitches
Darning with the straight stitch
• Attach darning foot No. 6. Turn the handwheel toward
you until the needle is set at its highest position. With
thumb and index À nger press the darning foot together.
Insert the pin of the darning foot as far as it will go into
the hole of the presser foot holder. The “C-shaped”
guide should place itself around the presser bar. The
long, plastic arm must be behind the needle clamp/
needle set screw. Tighten the set screw.
• Repair the damaged area/hole by guiding the fabric
evenly forwards and backwards. The length of the seam
is determined by the size of the hole.
• When you have covered the width of 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.
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
Stitch
• Darning position: Lower the presser bar lifter slowly
and push it to the rear until it engages in the darning
position. In this position the thread tension is engaged
for darning.
• Lower the feed dog.
• Draw up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when
you start sewing.
