Darning and Mending
Stitch number 28.
Darning a small hole or a tear before it becomes larger can
save a garment. Choose a fine thread in a color as close to
your garment as possible.
1. Place the fabric in position under the presser foot.
2. Start sewing above the hole and over it.
3. Once over the hole, press the reverse button. Continue
sewing. The machine sews back and forth across the hole
16 times and then stops.
4. The LED next to the STOP button is lit automatically,
indicating that the darning stitch can be repeated with the
same size. Reposition your fabric, then step on the foot
control to sew again. The stitch will now repeat the same
size darning square. The machine will stop automatically
when the stitch is completed. To cancel the repeat
function, press the STOP button.

Woven heavy and stitch number 29.
Secure elastic ends, drapery pleats, belt loops, and pocket
corners with the same look as ready-to-wear.

1. Your machine will sew a straight stitch until you press
reverse.
2. Your machine will then sew in reverse until you press
reverse again.
3. Your machine will then sew a zigzag, covering the
straight stitches.
4. Press reverse to automatically tie off.
5. The LED next to the STOP button is lit automatically,
indicating that the stitch can be repeated with the same
size. Reposition your fabric, then step on the foot control
to sew again. The stitch will now repeat the same size
bartack. The machine will stop automatically when the
stitch is completed. To cancel the repeat function, press
the STOP button.
