DARNING ON THE SEWING MACHINE

  One  of the most tedious and time-consuming
 household tasks is darning. This may be done easily
and quickly on the sewing machine without  eye
 strain.  Notonly is the machine darning neater than
 that done by hand, but it is stronger,  even more
durable than the original fabric.

  Best darning  results  (especially when  using fine
thread)areobtained if the sewing machineisequipped
with the Singer Darning Foot to prevent the work
from rising with the needle. A Singer Darner or em
broidery hoops may be used to hold thework while
darning.



                                                                        de  On Singer machines having a feed throw-out
toe the feed sheuld be dropped  so that  it will not
catch the material being darned. Onothermachines,
a feed cover plate should be used, as shown in Fig. 1.
If no cover plate  is  available, adjust the  stitch
regulator for the shortest possible   stitch.

   TO ATTACH THE DARNING FOOT

  Turn the balance wheel  until the needle is raised
toits highest  point.

  Raisethepresser bar and remove the presser  foot,
then securely fasten thedarning foot to the presser
bar by means of the presser  bar thumb serew (C,
 Fig.  1). A  slot  in the shank of the darning  foot
 permits an adjustmentfor accommodating different
       nesses  of work. Lower  the presser bar and

adjust the height of the darning foot so that therc
 is just enough clearance  for the work tobe moved
 freely under the darning foot.

  Cut away the frayed material around the edges
of the hole tobe darned.  Raise the presser bar,
hold the darner frame in an upright position  back
of the arm and bring it down under the darning
foot, then lower the presser  bar to restore the ten
sion on theneedle thread. Draw up the bobbin
thread the same as for sewing.
  After twoor three stitches are  made, cut off the
looseendsof thread so that they  willnot be stitched
into the darn.
  Outline theedge to be daraed with three rows of
stiteling  about    inch from  the edge, then start
at one end and sew back and forth across the hole.
  After the hole is covered with the threads running
 in one direction,  turn the work around  and sew
 erosswise  to complete the darn.
