How
to
darn
correctly
Make
the
turning
points
of
each
row
blunt
or
the
stitching
will
draw
little
holes
at
the
ends.
Beginners
may
pre-
fer
the
L
or
M
movement.
Take
care
not
to
get
circles.
The
quick
mastering
of
this
work
de-
pends
on
regular
guiding.
Therefore:
—
Hold
the
hoop
correctly.
—
Always
work
from
left
to
right
(as
when
writing).
—
Move
work
lengthways
(not
side-
ways)
for
selvedge
and
weftway.

A
careful
darn
is
done
in
3
runs
1.
Weftway.
2.
Selvedgeway.
(Not
too
dense
or
it
becomes
too
thick
around
the
hole.
3.
Same
way
as
2nd
run
but
only
over
hole
itself
losing
threads
in
2nd
run
of
stitching.
Main
faults
when
darning
Frequent
thread
breaking
—
work
guided
irregularly.
Poor
stitch
(looping
on
top)
—
work
moved
too
quickly.
When
wrong
side
of
work
is
"
grainy"
work
moved
too
slowly.
How
to
hold
hoop
correctly
Not
like
this
...
this
would
produce
irregular
guiding
with
frequent
thread
breaks.
...
but
like
this.
What
is
to
be
guided
must
be
firmly
held.
Thumb
facing
the
frame
(slightly
bent)
side
of
little
finger
to
the
frame.
Starting
position
of
the
fingers
as
in
the
picture
—
opposite
one
another.
Then
pulled
back
a
little.
The
frame
is
guided
however
by
the
outer
fingers.
