THE FELLERFOOT Press inner ring as far as it will go, so that the entire damaged area is lying uniformly on the needle plate. The damaged area now centered in the darning ring can easily moved in any direction. When beginning it will be useful to sew a full circle around the damaged area to prevent running. Then sew aline of stitches across the direction of the fabric stitches. The lines should be of different lengths and as close to one another as possible. This is done by sliding the darning ring to and fro. As soon as the hole is completely sewn over, cover these lines in the direction of the already knit stitches by moving the darning ring from left to right and vice-versa. The inner ring can also be turned by one-quarter turn and the darning ring then again moved forward and backward. Start these covering lines somewhat beyond the outermost stitch lines (see fig. 24 b). The covering lines, which should be of different lengths, must be disposed side by side in line with the fabric stitches. Now fill the small spaces in the mended area until the hole is uniformly covered. In order to connect two pieces of material (linen, shirts a.s.o.) by means of a firm seam, the feller is used, whereby the felled seam is obtained in two operations. 1st operation (fig. 27) Arrange the fabric sections to be joined on top of each other, in such a manner that the bottom section slightly projects from the top one, and pass with 26

THE
FELLERFOOT
Press
inner
ring
as
far
as
it
will
go,
so
that
the
entire
damaged
area
is
lying
uniformly
on
the
needle
plate.
The
damaged
area
now
centered
in
the
darning
ring
can
easily
moved
in
any
direction.
When
beginning
it
will
be
useful
to
sew
a
full
circle
around
the
damaged
area
to
prevent
running.
Then
sew
aline
of
stitches
across
the
direction
of
the
fabric
stitches.
The
lines
should
be
of
different
lengths
and
as
close
to
one
another
as
possible.
This
is
done
by
sliding
the
darning
ring
to
and
fro.
As
soon
as
the
hole
is
completely
sewn
over,
cover
these
lines
in
the
direction
of
the
already
knit
stitches
by
moving
the
darning
ring
from
left
to
right
and
vice
-versa.
The
inner
ring
can
also
be
turned
by
one
-quarter
turn
and
the
darning
ring
then
again
moved
forward
and
backward.
Start
these
covering
lines
somewhat
beyond
the
outermost
stitch
lines
(see
fig.
24
b).
The
covering
lines,
which
should
be
of
different
lengths,
must
be
disposed
side
by
side
in
line
with
the
fabric
stitches.
Now
fill
the
small
spaces
in
the
mended
area
until
the
hole
is
uniformly
covered.
In
order
to
connect
two
pieces
of
material
(linen,
shirts
a.s.o.)
by
means
of
a
firm
seam,
the
feller
is
used,
whereby
the
felled
seam
is
obtained
in
two
operations.
1st
operation
(fig.
27)
Arrange
the
fabric
sections
to
be
joined
on
top
of
each
other,
in
such
a
manner
that
the
bottom
section
slightly
projects
from
the
top
one,
and
pass
