A small hole or tear is easily darned with the darning stitch.
This stitch automatically sews small stitches back and forth to
cover small holes or tears.
Thread your machine with a thread in a color as close to your
fabric as possible.
1. Select the Darning Stitch.
2. The darning stitch is used together with the Buttonhole Foot.
Measure the length of the tear/hole. Push the button holder
lever (A) out to the corresponding length. The distance
between the button holder lever and the stopper (B) is the
approximate length of the darning stitch. The maximum
length is approximately 1 1/4” (3cm). (If the tear is longer,
repeat the stitch).
3. Attach the Buttonhole Foot to your machine. Place your fabric
under the presser foot. Align the fabric so that the bottom of
the tear is slightly above the center of the presser foot (C).
4. Lower the Buttonhole Lever (D) all the way down, and push it
away from you. The Buttonhole Lever should t between
the button holder lever (A) and the stopper (B).
5. Start sewing, the machine will stop automatically once the dar-
ning stitch is completed. Move your fabric and repeat until
the whole damaged area is covered.
Note: To make the darning even sturdier, place a fabric under-
neath the hole/tear before sewing.
