5. Sewing Assistant 5-15 Free-motion darning Make sure the needle is at its highest position. Lower the feed dog. Attach Darning foot 6: With your thumb and finger, squeeze the front and back of the foot together. Insert the pin of the Darning foot as far as it will go into the hole (A) of the presser foot holder. The C-shaped' guide (B) should be positioned around the presser bar.

Select the straight or zigzag stitch. Touch and select Touch "Embroidery/Darning/Quilting" to activate the free motion function. As you begin sewing, the darning foot automatically 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.
