Operation Manual

Triangular
Tears
Triangular
tears
are
best darned
by
placing
the
torn
section
between
hoops
and
making
close
stitches
across
and
lengthwise.
Move
work
under
the
needle
with
both
hands.
Thin Spots
Remember
that
‘a
stitch
in time
saves
nine”
and
reinforce
spots
that
have
worn
thin with
short
stitches
made
lengthwise
and
across
worn
section.
This
job
can be
done without
foot,
too.
Small
Holes
Darn small
and
medium-size
holes
by
trimming
ragged
edges
with
the fabric
grain.
First
stitch
back
and
forth
across
the
hole
from
one
side to
the
other
with
the machine
running
at
high
speed.
Then turn
the
fabric at
right
angles
and
sew
back
and
forth
over
preceding
work
with
short
stitches.
Make
sure the
stitches
are
taken
right
into
the
good
material.
Long
Rips
may
be darned
with the
normal
sewing
foot and
without
hoops.
Set
needle
plate in
its normal,
or
sewing,
position
and
use
forward-reverse
feed
control.
