After
loosening

take
off

Then
screw

is
over

and
will
be lifted
with
each
seam.
(see
ill.)
Cut out
the
area to
be
sewn
rectangularly and
resew
properly
with
straight
stitches.
Now
lower
feed
dog
(keep
needle
on
straight
stitch
center)
and
hold
material
with
both
bands
so
that
it
is
smoothly tightened.
Then
guide
material
from
left
to
right
and
sew
one
seam
beside
the
other
(ill.
b).
Thus
the
hole
is
ready
in
one
direction,
make
the material glide
forward
and
reverse
and
again
place
one
seam
beside
the
other
(ill.
c).
In order
to
avoid
drawing
together
of
the
weaving,
the
material
could
be
placed
into
an
embroidery
frame,
this
is,
however,
not
necessary
with
our
universal
darner.
For
darning
of
linen
we
recommend
sewing
silk
50
or
60,
needle
70
or
80.

When
darning
an
angle
tear,
pay
attention
that
both
parts
closely
join.
Then
connect
these
layers
by
various
seams
one
beside
the
other
as
per
ill.
Take
care
that
the
seams
nicely
mesh.
Should
the
torn
material
be
porous,
undersew
another
material,
thus
the
darned
area
will
be
more
sturdy
and durable.

1st
operation:
Lead
the
darning
thread
into
the
opening
of
the
foot
and
attach
it
by
some
stitches
onto
the
material
to be
darned.
Now
start
sewing
by
leading
the
thread

over
the
area
to be
darned
and
fix
it at
the
left
and
at the
right
beside
the
damaged
area.
Place
one
thread
closely
to
the
other,
until
the damaged
area
is
covered.
2nd operation:
When
the
damaged
area
is
full of
wool,
sew
the
complete
area
with
an elastic
zig-zag
seam,
but
in
opposed
direction
so that
the
wool
threads
done
by
the first
operation
cannot
move
against each
other.
