Turn the machine back on its hinges. Unscrew
the thiimli screw (D, Fig. IJIi), which is located in
the lower hole (C) in the feed lifting crank (H).
Move the feed lifting crank (B) down so that the
thumb screw (D) will enter the upper hole (A). Hav-
ing inserted the screw in this hole, tighten it firmly.
The feed is thus rendered inoperative and will not
interfere with the free movement of the work. Bring
the machine forward into place.
Move the stitch regulator lever (B, Fig. 16) to
its neutral position at the centre of the slot.
Remove the presser foot and let down the presser

When darning
flat work, it is
advisable to use
embroidery
hoops to hold
the work.
Place thework
in the machine,
having the un-
worn part near
the hole under
the needle. Com-
mence the darn-
ing by making a
line of stitches across the hole a little longer than
the width of the hole. Continue making parallel
lines of stitches across the hole, moving the work
backward and forward and at the same time grad-
ually moving the
work side wise
until the hole is
covered with
lines of stitches
running across
the hole. Then
commence as
before and move
the work length-
wise of the hole
until the stitches
across the hole
are completely
covered and the
darn is finished.
