Darning
Mounting the darning plate
For some sewing work, e.g. sewing on buttons, hooks and eyes,
darning and embroidery, the material must not be fed through
automatically. Instead you must be able to control the feeding of the
material yourself.
In these cases, you must attach the darning plate included in the
accessories.
−
Raise the presser foot lever and turn the hand wheel to raise the
needle to its highest position.
−
Now push both pins of the darning plate into the openings on the
needle plate
24
until they click into place, as shown in the diagram
opposite.
−
Simply lift the darning plate at the corners to remove it again.
Darning
−
Remove the presser foot holder and select the normal lower thread
tension.
The upper thread tension should be somewhat lower than usual.
Presser foot: ...............................................................................................No presser foot
Program: ............................................................................................................................... A
Stitch length: ................................................................................................................1 to 4
If necessary, you can place a piece of fabric under the damaged area.
−
Place the material under the needle and lower the presser foot
lever to apply the thread tension.
−
Begin sewing by slowly moving the fabric forwards and backwards
by hand.
−
Repeat until the damaged area has been completely filled with
parallel stitches.
−
If necessary, you can darn over these stitches with stitches at right
angles to them, as you do when darning by hand.
TIP
The fabric must be taut during the darning process. If the
damaged area is large, it is advisable to use an embroidery
frame (available from specialist retailers) to keep the material
taut.
