Darning holes or worn areas

Replaces both lengthways and crossways

threads in all fabrics.

Preparation

• stretch fabric into darning hoop

(optional accessory) to prevent

distortion

• use the slide-on table

Sewing

• move the darning hoop smoothly by

hand

• work from left to right without using

pressure

• when changing direction on top and on

bottom, move in curves (avoid points as

this prevents holes and thread

breakage)

• work in different lengths so that the

thread is «lost» in the fabric

1. Stitch over the hole

• sew the first rows to cover the hole (not

too close, sewing beyond the worn area)

• work the rows in irregular lengths

• turn work by a quarter turn - 90°

2. Cover the first rows

• sew over the first rows - not too close for

a soft finish

• turn work by a half turn - 180°

3. Complete darning

• sew loosely and in same direction as 2nd

rows

Poor stitch formation

• if the thread is lying on the right

side of the fabric, the hoop is

being moved too quickly

• if there are knots on the wrong

side of the fabric, the hoop is

being moved too slowly

Thread breaks

• if thread breakage is a pro-

blem, it could be that the hoop

is not being moved smoothly
