Darning with wool thread Ultra-Matic stitch selector: zigzag stitch in stitch range 6 or 7. Central needle position Drop the machine feed. Attach darning foot No. 93-040 960-91. Knitted garments and articles made of terry cloth are best darned with wool thread since spots darned with this thread are not as stiff as those darned with thin embroidery and darning thread. Draw the wool thread through the needle hole of the darning foot, through the slot and into the hole provided for this purpose. The wool thread must be placed under the darning foot (ill. right). Run the machine and place the wool thread back and forth across the hole. packing the individual strands closely together. Stitch it down on the right and left of the defective area. Once the hole is covered with the wool thread, trim it. Then sew back and forth over the darned area lengthwise, using a thin darning thread. Do not space the various lines of stitching too closely since this would make the darn too hard. Eyelet embroidery For eyelet embroidery you need cover plate No. 93-040 946-45 which is inserted in the feed slot (see adjoining drawing). This cover plate can be obtained from your Pfaff dealer. Drop the machine feed. Remove the sewing foot. Left needle position. Lower the presser bar lifter. Mark the position of the eyelets on the fabric with dots. Place the fabric in a darning hoop and make a crosswise cut at each dot, using your seam ripper or a pointed embroidery scissors. Push the stud of the cover plate through one of the little holes in the fabric and turn the stitch selector to a narrow zigzag stitch in stitch range 5 or 6. Now sew around the hole. turning the hoop by hand at a uniform rate. This is very important to obtain beautiful eyelets. Sew around every hole twice. • 00 00 A o 0 ,• 4 '47 - 77 1 6,O1 o I 0*oo! 45
