Clomp fabric into darning hoops and move it freely under the needle. Long rips may be darned with the normal sewing foot and withaut hoops. Raise ma chine feed and use forward-reverse stitch control. Triangular Tears Triangular tears are best darned by plac ing the torn section between hoops and making close stitches across and length wise. Move work under the needle with both hands. Small Holes Darn small and medium-size holes by trimming ragged edges with the fabric groin. First stitch back and forth across the hole from one side to the other with the machine running at high speed. Then turn the fabric at right angles and sew back and forth over preceding work with short stitches. This anchors threads in the unworn area around the hole. 46 T1
