Hello, it's been a minute since I last had to darn something., For my older model machine, I would use the open-toe foot. It allowed me to see where to direct the sewing needle. Now with these newer models of sewing machines view of sewing is covered by the sewing foot which can lead to another problem. Thanks for sharing the video.

I think we are all into visible mending now to add some decoration to our clothes. I love the sashiko best. So artsy!😊

ha ha....30 years ago, on an old less automatic machine, I did this Freehand with a single hole plate covering the fabric teeth, an embroidery hoop upside down holding fabric taut, cover the entire hole with only 2 directions at 90', these new auto methods less tidy, & takes longer! :D I miss the creativity!
