• Fig. 18 by pressing the two finger-grips 35. Slip the stocking over the open arm and the darning apparatus, until the damaged part is in the middle of the darning ring. It is advisable to move the darning ring as far as possible to the left, especially if the damaged part of the stocking is at the toe or at the heel. Then reinsert the inner ring into the outer ring, that is now under the stocking. Make sure that the part of the stocking inside of the ring be well stretched. Press the inner ring right down, so that the complete darning apparatus lies well on the throat plate. The 26 darning ring can now easily be pushed about in any direction. It is advisable to sew first a seam round the damaged part, in order to prevent any further running. Then, begin to stretch threads from front to back and in reverse by pushing the darning ring backwards and forwards. Sew these thread rows across the laddering direction of the stocking, at different lenghts, and make them parallel and as close as possible. Now, cover these thread rows in the laddering direction by pushing the darning ring from side to side. It is also possible to rotate the inner ring a quarter of a turn and to continue to push the darning ring backwards and forwards. Begin sewing these covering seams a little beyond the limit of the thread rows (see fig. 16b). The covering seams, which are made at different lengths into the sound part of the stocking, shall be parallel and as close as possible. Now fill out the small interstices in the darn by some more covering seams, until the hole is completely filled. 27
