Repair Tears; Repair Small Holes - Singer HD6620C Manual De Instrucciones

Repair Tears

On tears, frayed edges or small holes it is useful to lay a piece
of fabric on the wrong side of the fabric. The underlayed fabric
reinforces the damaged area.
Lay a piece of fabric underneath the damaged fabric. It must
be a little larger than the damaged area.
Sew over the damaged area using the zigzag or multi-step
zigzag stitch.
Trim the piece of fabric used as reinforcement.

Repair Small Holes

A small hole or tear is easily darned with the darning stitch.
This stitch automatically sews small stitches back and forth to
cover small holes or tears.
Thread your machine with a thread in a color as close to your
fabric as possible.
1. Select the Darning Stitch.
2. The darning stitch is used together with the Buttonhole
Foot. Measure the length of the tear/hole. Push the button
holder lever (A) out to the corresponding length. The
distance between the button holder lever and the stopper
(B) is the approximate length of the darning stitch. The
maximum length is approximately 1 1/4" (3cm) (If the tear
is longer, repeat the stitch).
3. Attach the Buttonhole Foot to your machine. Place your
fabric under the presser foot. Align the fabric so that the
bottom of the tear is slightly above the center of the presser
foot (C).
4. Lower the Buttonhole Lever (D) all the way down, and
push it away from you. The Buttonhole Lever should fit
between the button holder lever (A) and the stopper (B).
5. Start sewing, the machine will stop automatically once the
darning stitch is completed. Move your fabric and repeat
until the whole damaged area is covered.
Note: To make the darning even sturdier, place a fabric
underneath the hole/tear before sewing.
