The first darning I ever did by machine was on my featherweight,... just straight stitching back and forth, it's still holding on the knee of a pair of my favorite jeans. Now that I know how to fmq though, I would almost suggest a darning foot if he's going to darn with a SS machine. I'd be happy to send one, but I wonder if there's a point in sending it to Steve first, because from Canada it will take 2 weeks to get to Steve, which could hold the whole process up. I would be happy to send it directly to Kevin.
