Sewing with the Darning & Embroidery Foot
The Darning & Embroidery Foot has
a small opening through which the
needle passes while sewing. When the
presser foot is down and the Darning
& Embroidery Foot is in use, the foot
raises and lowers with the action of the
needle up and down. This allows fabric
to pass under the needle freely.
To attach the Darning & Embroidery
Foot, rst remove the regular presser
foot and presser foot holder. Refer
to your sewing machine manual and
depending on your particular sewing
machine model, either cover or lower
the feed dogs to disengage them.
Turn the hand wheel toward you to raise
the needle to its highest position, then
slowly lower the needle until it is halfway
down. This step makes it easier to
attach the foot.
As you attach the foot, be sure the arm
at the top of the foot is resting above the
needle clamp.

Machine Embidy
If your sewing machine has built in
embroidery, you can use your Darning
& Embroidery foot to stitch many
beautiful embroidery projects.
If you have a standard sewing
machine that does not feature built-in
embroidery, you can create embroidery
designs manually using the Darning &
Embroidery Foot. Consult your machine
manual to determine the correct style
needed for your machine.
Fee Mtin Quilting
Set your sewing machine for straight
stitch. No additional setting is needed
for length because you determine the
length of stitch my how quickly you
move the quilt under the needle.
With your prepared quilt top, batting
and backing, hold the quilt with both
hands under the needle. Put the
presser foot down and sew a few
stitches in place to secure threads.
Move the quilt around in a meadering
fashion, stitching a continuous line
pattern to quilt the quilt.

Tead Painting
Use a straight stitch and free motion ll shapes
with thread.
This is a fun and unique way to sew machine
made embroidery with beautiful texture.
Use a removable fabric marking tool to draw your
design on the fabric surface. Fill in each design
element with the thread colors desired.
Experiment with various types of threads. For
example, variegated threads can add interesting
dimension. Rayon threads add a beautiful sheen.
Metallic threads can be a nice touch for holiday
projects or for added drama.
When thread painting with rayon or mtallic thread,
use a SINGER chromium embroidery needle for
best results.

Dning and Repa
You can repair tears and holes in fabric with the
Darning & Embroidery Foot. Apply a small scrap of
fabric to the back of the area in need of repair. Back
the area with a layer of stabilizer.
Select straight stitch and sew over the torn area in
teo steps moving the fabric back and forth to free-
motion stitch.
In step one, sew back and forth in a vertical motion
to cover the affected area.
In step two, sew back and forth in a horizontal
motion.
Once the area has been covered in stitches sew in
place a few stitches to secure and trim away excess
backing fabric and stabilizer.

Mngamming
You can monogram using free motion with the
Darning & Embroidery Foot!
Select a zig zag stitch and set the stitch length to zero
on your sewing machine. Mark the desired monogram
letters onto your fabric with a removable fabric
marking tool.
Back your fabric with stabilizer and optionally hoop
your fabric. (Hand held hoops are sold as an optional
accessory.)
Stitch slowly guiding the fabric so that your sewing
machine stitches evenly along the lines of the letters.
The stitch length is determined by the speed at which
you move the fabric.
With a little practice this technique can be used to
personalize many projects.
