Depending on the type of fabric, the darning pattern may shift slightly out of square. You can balance the program using the adjustment capability.

Darning with the elastic stitch

Stitch No. 4

The elastic stitch no. 4 is very suitable for repairing small holes and slightly damaged areas. This is most suitable for light-weight fabrics.

Reduce the stitch length and sew rows of stitches over the damaged area until it is well covered. Make sure the stitch rows overlap. No additional backing is needed for these slightly damaged areas.
