Darning
Remove the presser foot and fit Feed Cover Plate No. 108002 over the feed dog by inserting the single prong into the long slot at
the front of the throat plate, .
pressing lightly on the cover plate until the two prongs engage in the slots at the rear of the throat plate. Attach Spring Darning Foot No. 121094, but do not tighten the thumb screw. Stretch tightly the article to be repaired in an embroidery hoop and place below the needle by tilting the edge of the hoop. Then lower the presser bar by means of its lifter, and adjust the height of the darning foot to allow just sufficient space for the free movement of the work. After adjustment, tighten the thumb screw securely. The hoop should be moved backward and forward by the hands and the hole or damaged part completely covered
with stitching in one direction before turning the work at a right angle and stitching across to complete the darn. When the machine is to be used again for plain stitching, replace the presser foot and remove the feed cover plate by inserting the blade of the small screw driver in the notch and twisting to the right, as shown in Fig. 52

Embroidery
For lace embroidery, i.e. open work, remove the presser foot and attach Feed Cover Plate 108002 and Spring Foot 121094.
For surface embroidery, where a clear view of the stitching is required, neither foot should be used.
