MENDING A TEAR OR

INSTANT

DARNING

stitch

zigzag

provides

a strong

and

The

multiple

easy

repair for torn

garments.

It

gives

an

almost

invisible

mend, especially

when

a

fine

darning

thread

is

used.

To mend a

tear,

hold the

torn

edges close

together

and

stitch

down the

middle.

If

the tear is

guided

under

the

slot

in the

middle

of

the presser foot, stitching

will

be

equal on

both sides. If necessary, sew again

on either

side

of

the

first

row of stitching

making

sure

the

needle

catches the stitch in the center.

With very

worn

or

frayed fabric, place

a

piece of light

weight

interfacing

or cotton

batiste

under

the

tear

for

reinforcement.

Note:

Try Smocking Stitch for knits.
