DR 056 DR 559 Darning Machine setting: A=O; 8=4 Prepare your machine for darning as instructed on pages 22 and 23. Place fabric into darning hoop, the damaged area being in the center of the hoop. Hoops may be obtained from your Pfaff dealer. Triangular Tears Triangular tears are best darned by placing the torn section between hoops and making close stitches across and lengthwise. Move work under the needle with both hands. Thin Spots Remember that 'a stitch in time saves nine" and reinforce spots that have worn thin with short stitches made lengthwise and across worn section. This job can be done without foot, too. Small Holes Darn small and medium-size holes by trimming ragged edges with the fabric grain. First stitch back and forth across the hole from one side to the other with the machine running at high speed. Then turn the fabric at right angles and sew back and forth over preceding work with short stitches. Make sure the stitches are taken right into the good material. Long Rips may be darned with the normal sewing foot and without hoops. Set needle plate in its normal, or sewing, position and use forward-reverse feed control. 35
