    • Slide the pant leg with the patch over the arm of the sewing machine.

    • You may need to remove the sewing machine table for the pant to fit over the sewing machine.

    • If you are still having trouble getting the pant around the arm of the sewing machine, you can rip the side seam of the pant leg to allow room to sew.

    • Be sure that the pant leg is around the arm, and that you are not accidentally sewing the two layers of the pant leg together.

    • Align the edge of the patch with the center of the pressor foot.

    • Be sure that the patch is laying flat.

    • Lower the pressor foot.

    • Begin sewing the zig-zag stitch, following the edge of the hole so that the zig-zag stitch covers the area where the two fabrics meet.

To keep the pattern from entirely fraying or catching on things, it may also help to flip the pants right-side-out and sew again around the pattern edge with the zigzag or a flat stitch.
