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

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.
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
iron-
on
stabilizer.
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.
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.
