My darning experiment #2 is on a Singer 66-14 (treadle) using cover plate #32589 and needle-mount darning attachment #86294. Thread is Coats Dual Duty+ (white) in the bobbin, and Molnlycke thread (Fresno, CA) in the top. Molnlycke is a polyester thread that I have no knowledge about what-so-ever. I snatched off of the wife’s thread tower because the color coordinated with the 9-patch block that I was trying to embroider text on in experiment #1. The fabric is un-starched utility muslin.
So I removed the foot, foot thumb screw, and needle clamp. I installed the needle into the stand-in darning clamp #86294. I attached the cover plate #32589, threaded up the machine, and pulled my bobbin thread to the top. The first problem that I ran into was that the 4” plastic hoop that I clamped my fabric in wouldn’t fit under the needle. I swapped out for my 5” thin metal hoop, and began my darning. Nothing planned, I just went willy-nilly to see what would happen.
