- - r - Darning with the elastic stitch Prog. 3 The elastic stitch is very suitable for repairing holes, tears and damaged areas. If the area is only slightly damaged, you may sew over it with rows of stitches until it is well covered. No additional backing is needed for these slightly damaged areas. When doing so, make sure the stitch rows overlap each other. For tears, frayed edges or small holes it is advisable to place a piece of fabric, slightly larger than the damaged area and of the same color, on the wrong side of the fabric. This strengthens the fabric and ensures a much stronger, longer-lasting darn. Overstitch the damaged area as described above and cut away the excess material close to the stitching on the back side of your work. Sewing-on patches Prog. 3 The best way to darn/repair larger holes is to patch, by covering the damaged area with a piece of new fabric of a matching color. - Cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the damaged area or hole. - Strengthen the wrong side of the patch with iron-on stabilizer. - Baste the new piece of material over the damaged area. - Overstitch the fabric edges with the elastic stitch. - Cut back the damaged fabric on the reverse side close to the seam. 77

Darning
with
the
elastic
stitch
Prog.
3
The
elastic
stitch
is
very
suitable
for
repairing
holes,
tears
and
damaged
areas.
If
the
area
is
only
slightly
damaged,
you
may
sew
over
it
with
rows
of
stitches
until
it
is
well
covered.
No
additional
backing
is
needed
for
these
slightly
damaged
areas.
When
doing
so,
make
sure
the
stitch
rows
overlap
each
other.
For
tears,
frayed
edges
or
small
holes
it
is
advisable
to
place
a
piece
of
fabric,
slightly
larger
than
the
damaged
area
and
of
the
same
color,
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
fabric.
This
strengthens
the
fabric
and
ensures
a
much
stronger,
longer-lasting
darn.
Overstitch
the
damaged
area
as
described
above
and
cut
away
the
excess
material
close
to
the
stitching
on
the
back
side
of
your
work.
The
best
way
to
darn/repair
larger
holes
is
to
patch,
by
covering
the
damaged
area
with
a
piece
of
new
fabric
of
a
matching
color.
—
Cut
a
piece
of
fabric
slightly
larger
than
the
damaged
area
or
hole.
—
Strengthen
the
wrong
side
of
the
patch
with
iron-on
stabilizer.
—
Baste
the
new
piece
of
material
over
the
damaged
area.
—
Overstitch
the
fabric
edges
with
the
elastic
stitch.
—
Cut
back
the
damaged
fabric
on
the
reverse
side
close
to
the
seam.
