• Mending
Place the darning plate. Remove the foot holder and
presser foot. Center the hole in the fabric on an
embroidery hoop, as shown.
Lower the presser bar and sew at a slow speed.
Move the fabric back and forth slowly until the darning
area is covered.
Turn the fabric a 1/4 turn (90 degrees), and sew
another layer of stitching over the first layer.
NOTE:
If fabric is thin or badly damaged, attach a separate
piece of fabric under the hole to reinforce it.
• Embroidery
Put on the darning plate.
Remove the foot holder and foot.
Adjust the stitch width.
Mark the drawing on the fabric with tailor's chalk.
Set fabric in the embroidery hoop and put it under the
needle.
Lower the presser bar to engage upper thread
tension. Holding upper thread with right hand, turn the
handwheel toward you.
Pull upper thread to let bobbin thread out of fabric.
At medium speed, stitch along the marked line.
After mending or embroidery sewing, remove the
darning plate and put back the foot holder and foot.
