Utility stitches and practical sewing Darning with the elastic stitch E Darning with the elastic stitch is especially suitable for repairing damaged areas. • Sew over the damaged area in rows until it is well covered. Take care to ensure that the rows overlap. Sewing on patches To cover larger holes well, it is necessary to sew a new piece of fabric onto the damaged area. • Baste the new piece of fabric onto the damaged area of the face side of the fabric. • Sew over the fabric edges with the elastic stitch. • Trim the damaged area back to the seam from the reverse side of the fabric. Tip: To simplify turning the corners of the patch, turn the handwheel until the needle is in the fabric. Raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric. 42

Darning with the elastic stitch E
Darning with the elastic stitch is especially
suitable for repairing damaged areas.
• Sew over the damaged area in rows un-
til it is well covered. Take care to ensure
that the rows overlap.
Sewing on patches
To cover larger holes well, it is neces-
sary to sew a new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area.
• Baste the new piece of fabric onto the
damaged area of the face side of the
fabric.
• Sew over the fabric edges with the elas-
tic stitch.
• Trim the damaged area back to the
seam from the reverse side of the fab-
ric.

To simplify turning the corners of
the patch, turn the handwheel until the
needle is in the fabric. Raise the press-
er foot and pivot the fabric.
