MENDING
A
TEAR
OR
INSTANT
DARNING
The
multiple
stitch
zigzag
provides
a
strong
and
easy
repair
for
torn
garments.
It
gives
an
almost
invisible
mend,
especially
when
a
fine
darning
thread
is
used.
To
mend
a
tear,
hold
the
torn
edges
close
together
and
stitch
down
the
middle.
If
the
tear
is
guided
under
the
slot
in
the
middle
of
the
presser
foot,
stitching
will
be
equal
on
both
sides.
If
necessary,
sew
again
on
either
side
of
the
first
row
of
stitching
making
sure
the
needle
catches
the
stitch
in
the
center.
With
very
worn
or
frayed
fabric,
place
a
piece
of
light
weight
interfacing
or
cotton
batiste
under
the
tear
for
reinforcement.
Note:
Try
Smocking
Stitch
for
knits.

A

a
convenient

to

when

When
