Darning with elastic stitch Program 03 The elastic stitch is very suitable for repairing holes, tears and damaged areas. Depending on the size of the damaged area, sew over this area with rows of elastic stitches until it is well covered.When doing so, make sure that the stitch rows overlap each other. When mending tears, frayed edges or small holes, it is advisable to lay a piece of fabric of the same color which is slightly larger than the damaged area on the wrong side of the material. This piece of fabric strengthens the material and guarantees a perfect darn. Overstitch the damaged area as described above and cut back the piece of fabric on the wrong side as far as possible. Sewing on patches Program 15 The best way to darn larger holes is to patch, by covering the damaged area with a piece of new material of a matching color. • Cut a piece of fabric that is bigger than the damaged area. • Enforce the wrong side of the patch with ironon stabilizer. • Baste the piece of new material onto the damaged area. • Overstitch its edges with elastic stitches. • Now cut back the damaged material up to the seam on the wrong side. TIP: In order to turn at the corners more easily, use the "needle down" function. 81
