To repair a straight or three-cornered tear, position the tear under the needle in such a waythat the stitching catches both sides of the tear. When mending a three-cornered tear, stitch from each end to the center. It is well to use a piece of fabric under the tear for re- inforcement.

No Presser Foot

Remove presser foot, stretch fabric be- tween embroidery hoops with hole centered. Draw the bobbin thread up through the fabric by holding the top thread and taking one stitch at the spot where you wish to start darning. Lowering the presser bar, start sewing at a slow to medium speed. Move the fabric back and forth with _a steady rhythm to cover the darning area.

When it is covered, turn the fabric and sew another layer of stitching across the first layer of stitching.
