Gathering

1

Loosen the tension of the upper thread so 
that the lower thread lies on the underside 
of the material.

Sew a single row (or many rows) of 
straight stitches.

3

Pull the lower threads to gather the 
material.

Darning

Raise the presser foot lever, and then slide 
the feed dog position switch to 

(see 

page 15).

2

Remove both the presser foot and presser

Put the section you want to darn under 
the presser foot together with fabric for 
reinforcement.

5

Begin sewing by alternating between 
gently drawing the work away from you 
and pulling it toward you. 

Note

Sew while holding the fabric stretched in 
order to keep the fabric held down.

6

Repeat this motion until the section being 
darned is filled with parallel lines of stitching.

When you are finished darning, slide the feed 
dog position switch to 

 (see page 15), 

and turn the handwheel to raise the dogs.

Memo

The feed dog position switch is normally set 
to the right side.

The feed dogs come up when you start 
sewing again.

Appliqués

You can create an appliqué by cutting a different piece 
of fabric into a shape and applying it as a decoration.
