Some
holes
may
be
too
large
for
darning
with
thread
alone.
In
this
case
mend
by
patching,
darning
around
the
patch
after
trimming
stray
threads
or
folding
back
the
edges
to
the
underside.
Then
trim off
the
corners
of
the
patch
on
the
underside
of
the
material.
Use
of
the
Flat
Work
Plate
When
there
is a
great
deal
of
flat
work
to
be
mended,
you
will
find
the
Chandler
Flat
Work
Plate
of
real
value.
(Page
19). To install this
plate
simply
lift
up
the
presser
foot. Be
sure
the
needle
is
at
its
highest
point
and
slide
the
plate
on
to
the
sleeve
of
this
machine.
The
sleeve
will fit in the cut-out in the plate. Then tighten
the
clamp-
screw
at
the
bottom
of
the
yoke,
and
the
plate
is
set
for
sewing.
This
plate
will
be
found
to
be
a
great
help
where
a
larger
surface
is
needed
than
provided
by
the
sleeve
of the machine. Some operators
use
the plate in mending
with
patches,
as
the
extra
surface
allows
free
and
con
venient
handling
of
the
patch
under
the
article
to
be
mended.
To
Regulate
the
Tensions
The
small
thumb
nut
in
front
of
the
tension
discs
A
(Fig. I
6c
2) is for
regulating
the
top
thread
tension. To
tighten
the
top
thread
tension,
turn
this
nut
clockwise
and
to
loosen
the
tension
turn
counter
clockwise.
The tension on
the
bobbin
thread
is
regulated
by
the
small
spring
tension
screw
A (Fig. 3)
located
in
the
center
of
the
bobbin
case
thread
tension
spring
C (Fig. 3),
Take
the
small
screw
driver
furnished
with
the
ac
cessories
and
turn
this
screw
to
the
left
to
loosen
the
bob
bin
thread
tension
and
to
the
right
to
increase
the
tension.
The
correct
tension
on
the
bobbin
thread
is
deter
mined
by
hanging
the
bobbin
case
by
the
thread.
If
the
tension
is
too
loose,
the
bobbin
case
will
slide
down
the
thread.
The
correct
tension
is
one
which
will
allow
the
bobbin
to
be
shaken
down
the
thread.
If
the
bobbin
can
not
be
shaken down the thread, the tension is too tight.
The
usual
procedure
is to
set
the
bobbin
tension
first
and
then
the
top
thread
tension
is
adjusted
until
the
stitch
on
the
under
side
of
the
material
is perfect
and
no
loops
are
formed
as
decribed in the following
paragraphs.

Tensions
Perfect stitching depends to a great extent on the
proper adjustment of the
thread
tensions. The machine,
as
it comes to you,
has
the tensions properly adjusted,
but you
will
need to readjustthem
frequently,
depending
on
type
of
material
sewed
and
thickness
of
thread
used.
If
the
stitching is
correctly
done
and
the
tensions
are
properly
adjusted,
the
threads
should
meet
in
the
center
of the material,
as
shown
by
A (Fig.7).
B
3000L
Fig.
7
If
the
top
thread
is
too
tight
or
the
bobbin
tension
is
too loose,
the
bottom
thread
will
be
pulled
to
the
top
of
the
material
as
illustrated
in
C (Fig.7).
When
the
top
thread
is
too
loose
or
the
bobbin
thread
is too tight, the
bobbin
thread
will lie
along
the
under
side
of
the
material
as
shown
in
B (Fig.7),
or
it will
form loops.
When
the top
thread
is too loose,
causing
these
loops to
appear,
the
darning
will
appear
to
be
bunchy
and
will
not
give
the
appearance
of a
neat
job.

Thread
Breakage
Occasionally
some
thread
breakage
might
occur.
In
this
case
check
the
following
for
the
trouble:
1.
Top
thread
tension
too
tight.
2.
Remove
bobbin
and
check
to
see
that
it
has
proper
tension
and
correct
threading,
3.
Wrong
thread.
Either
wrong
twist
or
too
heavy
for
needle
being
used.
4.
Follow
top
thread
back
from
needle
to
see
if it
has
been
double
twisted
around
any
of
the
thread
guides.
5.
Be
sure
no
cord,
box
nor
other
obstruction
is
lean
ing
against
or
is
contacting
thread
cone
causing
undue
and
uneven
thread
release
from
the
cone.
6.
Check
needle
to
see
if it is
properly
placed
in
needle
bar.
Flat
part
of
needle
must
be
to
the
right,
on
the
same
side
as
the
needle
clamp
screw.
7.
Run
finger
nail
along
needle
point
and
check
for
any
small
burr
or
bent
point.
If
burr
is felt,
remove
and
replace
with
new
needle.
8. Do
not
continue
to
sew
in
one
spot;
do
not
let
the
machine
run
any
length
of time
on
the
same
spot
of
material.
9. In
darning
across
a
hole,
be
sure
to
catch
the
thread
on
either
side.
Do
not
darn
half
way
across
and
re
turn
to
the
same
side.
The
loose
loop
of
the
thread
will
be
carried
down
to
the
hook
by
the
needle
and
snap
your
thread.
10. Too violent motion of
the
cloth or
sudden
jerks
of
the
material
will
snap
the
thread
in
the
eye
of
the
needle.
11. Remove
the
nickel-plated
sleeve
and
check point of
hook
to
see
if
needle
has
struck
it
to
cause
a
burr
on
its
point.
Use
a fine
stone
to
remove
any
burr
on
hook
point.
Do
not
use
a file.
Hook
should
not
be
removed
nor
loosened
unless
point
is
actually
broken
off,
