DROS6 Darrnng DR 057 DR 559 Machine setting: A 0, B Prepare your machine for darning as instructed on page 20. Place fabric into darning hoop, the damaged area being in the center of the hoop. Hoops may be obtained from your Pfaff dealer. Triangular Tears Triangular tears are best darned by placing the torn section between hoops and making close stitches across and lengthwise. Move work under the needle with both hands. Thin Spots Remember that "a stitch in time sa ves nine" and reinforce spots that have worn thin with short stitches made lengthwise and across worn section. This job can be done with out foot too. Small Holes Darn small and medium-size holes by trimming ragged edges with the fabric grain. 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 stit ches. Make sure the stitches are ta ken right into the good material. Long Rips may be darned with the normal sew ing foot and without hoops. Raise feed dog and use forward-reverse feed control. 38
