uInserting Patches 838 954 Attach ordinary sewing foot. Stitch width: medium Larger holes can be patched quickly. Trim away the ragged edges around the hole, cutting exactly along the fabric yarns. Cut a patch about 1/3 inch larger than the hole and place it under the hole, matching its grain to that of the fabric. Set the stitch length control on "1" and the stitch width control in the middle of its slot and stitch along the edge of the patch. Set the stitch length control on "0.5" and the stitch width control at the extreme left of its slot and sew over first seam. At the corners, stop the machines with the needle down in the material on the right of its throw. Then turn the fabric so that the corners are stitched twice (see ill.). Trim away the excess material on the wrong side. Elastic materials are patched in the same manner. 26
