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 better spread over the fabric
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
problem, it could be that the
hoop is not being moved
smoothly
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
