Hi, I have a Brother sewing machine and a split my favourite jeans. The machine has a darning plate, but I have tried and it was a disaster. The split in the denim just keeps pulling apart when I try to move the fabric backwards and forwards, I ended up with a huge tangled mess of cotton that I had to hack out with scissors. I thought I'd killed the machine for good.
Can anyone tell me in words of one syllable how to do this? Or should I just give up and do it by hand? Unfortunately, the split is on the left bum cheek of the jeans and therefore will be under strain each time I sit down!!! So the fix needs to be ... er... strong...
