* The darning foot is an optional accessory.

Move the drop feed lever to " " to lower the feed dogs.

Remove the presser foot holder, and attach the darning foot to the presser foot holder bar. The lever (a) should be behind the needle clamp screw (b). Press the darning foot on firmly from behind with your index finger and tighten the screw (c).

Darning

Please Note: Free motion darning is accomplished without the sewing machine internal feed system. Movement of the fabric is controlled by the operator, best by using an embroidery hoop (not included). It is necessary to coordinate sewing speed and movement of fabric.

First sew around the edges of the hole to secure the threads. Stitch across the opening moving the hoop backward and forward under the needle. Overlap the outline stitching at each end of the area, keeping the lines of stitching closely spaced and even in length. When the opening is filled, turn the work and cover the area with crosswise lines of stitching.
