Free motion darning Attach darning foot no. 6. Make sure the needle is at its highest position. With thumb and index finger press the darning foot together. Insert the pin of the darning foot as far as it will go into the hole of the presser foot holder. The "C-shaped" guide should place itself around the presser bar. The long, plastic arm must be behind the needle clamp/needle set screw. Lower the feed dog. Hoop your project to be repaired in a round embroidery hoop. Select the straight or zigzag stitch. Put the presser foot in the darning position. To put the presser foot in the darning position you should lower the presser bar lifter slowly and push it to the rear until it engages in the darning position. Draw up the bobbin thread and sew a few stitches to secure. Clip the threads close to the project and continue sewing. Repair the damaged area/hole by guiding the fabric evenly forwards and backwards slightly longer than the length of the repair area. When you have covered the damaged area, turn the fabric 90 degrees and stitch over the area again. Darning in both directions over a tear will produce a stronger repair. Tip: Remember, when sewing with the feed dogs lowered, the stitch length is determined by you. An even, medium-to-fast sewing speed will allow you to sew a more consistent length of straight stitch. Sewing too slowly may cause small knots to appear on the reverse side of your work. 5:12
