DARTS Darts can be made in the usual way on your sewing machine. That is, you begin stitching at the wide end of the dart, stitch to the point, and then fasten the two thread ends. However, thanks to the push-button bobbin, you can avoid the problem of fastening the thread ends by making a "continuous-thread" dart and stitching in the opposite direction. This method is particularly useful for darts in sheer fabrics, where transparency requires a neat, clean finish. It is also useful for darts made on the right side of a garment as a style detail. Regular Darts • Stitch: Straight • Stitch Width: • Needle Position:A • Stitch Length: About 12 or to suit fabric • Straight-stitch Plate • Straight-stitch Foot 1. Stitch from the seam edge, tapering gradually to the point. 2. Stitch beyond the fabric to form a thread chain 12/ to 3/4 inch long. 3. Clip thread ends about 2 inches from dart point and tie the ends into a single knot close to the stitching. Continuous-thread Darts 1. Set the machine as for regular darts. 2. Wind an empty bobbin with a small amount of thread to make a single dart. (To hasten separation of starting thread end from the winding bobbin, pull thread end gently after winding has started.) 3. Close slide plate, and position the needle in the very edge of the fold, at the point of basted or pinned dart. Lower presser foot. 4. Stitch carefully from the point to the wide end of the dart at the seam edge. Remove excess thread from bobbin and rewind for each dart.

DARTS
Darts
can
be
made
in
the
usual
way
on
your
sewing
machine.
That
is,
you
begin
stitching
at
the
wide
end
of
the
dart,
stitch
to
the
point,
and
then
fasten
the
two
thread
ends.
However,
thanks
to
the
push-button
bobbin,
you
can
avoid
the
problem
of
fastening
the
thread
ends
by
making
a
"continuous
-thread"
dart
and
stitching
in
the
opposite
direction.
This
method
is
particularly
useful
for
darts
in
sheer
fabrics,
where
transparency
requires
a
neat,
clean
finish.
It
is
also
useful
for
darts
made
on
the
right
side
of
a
garment
as
a
style
detail.
