Set the needle at its highest position by turning the handwheel, and push the pin of the darning foot fully into the hole of the sewing foot holder slightly pressing the darning foot between thumb and forefinger. When doing this, the guide fork should place itself around the presser bar and the wire must be behind the fixing screw. Darning position: Lower the presser foot lifter pressing it lightly to the rear until it snaps into the darning position. Important! Only in this position you have the optimum thread tension for darning. • Place the darning work in the darning hoop. • Drop the feed dog. • Pull up the bobbin thread and hold the threads when you start sewing. • Now guide the fabric back and forth evenly; the length of the darn will be set by the size of the hole. As you are determining the stitch length yourself while sewing with the feed dog dropped, you should sew at an even speed. When you have reached the width of the damaged area, darn over the damaged area again from right to left. This guarantees a durable darn. TIP: The faster you sew, the easier and more even the darning will be. If you are moving the part too slowly small knots will appear on the reverse side of the fabric. 124
