Memo
• The maximum length for darning is 28 mm
(approx. 1-1/16 inches).
Note
• Pass the thread underneath the presser
foot.
• Set the presser foot so that there is no gap
behind the section marked with an “A” (the
shaded area in the illustration below). If
there is a gap, the size of the darning will
not be correct.
