Darning

Use darning stitches for mending and other applications.

Darning is performed by sewing from the front of the presser foot to the back as shown below.

1. Reinforcement stitches

1. Select a stitch, and attach buttonhole foot “A+”.

   Position the upper thread under the presser foot by guiding thread through the hole in the presser foot before attaching the buttonhole foot “A+”.

   

2. Set the scale to the desired length of the darning.

   
   1. Presser foot scale
   2. Completed length measurement
   3. Width 7 mm (approx. 1/4 inch)
   4. 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch)
      • Instead of setting the darning length with the buttonhole foot, it can be set on the screen. (Setting the Slit Length)

3. Check that the needle drops at the desired position and lower the presser foot, making sure the upper thread passes underneath the buttonhole foot.

   
   • After lowering the presser foot, make sure that there is no gap in 1.
     

4. Gently hold the end of the upper thread, and then press the “Start/Stop” button to start the machine.

   • Once sewing is completed, the machine automatically sews reinforcement stitches, and then stops.
