Drop the feed dogs. Center the hole in the fabric on an
embroidery hoop, as shown.
Lower the presser foot F and sew at a slow speed.
Move the fabric back and forth slowly until the darning area
is covered. Turn the fabric 1/4 turn (90°), and sew another
layer of stitching over the first layer. After darning is
completed, return the pressure adjusting lever to 3 for
normal sewing.
NOTE:
If the fabric is thin or badly damaged, use a separate
piece of fabric under the hole to reinforce it.
