However, I think I will try my 34K for darning. I think for darning you need the momentum in that the presser foot is holding down the material or you have to put the material in a embroidery / darning frame (or what ever it is called). BTW - there was a darning attachment for Singer 29K and Adler 30 patcher machines - not sure if there ever has been one for CLAES patchers. AFAIK WIZ has one Yes, I have darning attachments on my Singer 29k71 and Adler 30-7. I use them once in a while to get longer stitches, or to darn across tears in material. These attachments have three positions: off, medium lift and high lift. You just rotate the T shaped handle so it either hits or misses the rising needle bar.

Members Constabulary Posted January 27, 2019 Members Report Posted January 27, 2019 I think we already talked about it a while ago but forgot about it. So the device replaces the hex screw, right? Internally I guess the "T handle" thing is spring loaded so that is stays in place while darning , right? Or does it "click" into a certain position? Can´t be too difficult to make if the Hex screw has a standard threading... will check that...

You just turn it to the desired position before it is hit by the needle bar. It can be mastered in about 5 standard Earth minutes.

Members MariaMS Posted March 2, 2024 Members Report Posted March 2, 2024 Interesting topic..... I have what I think is a Singer model 47 coming. Don't know the subclass as it went straight to storage and I can't see it in the pics. It currently has a roller foot, but I want to look into if I could get it darning. Was wondering if anyone has modified a domestic darning foot...... there are a few different ones that might work perhaps...... Quote
