That was fun. I thought that it was a sock.
yup! a sock- very cute and fun!!!
Thank you.But i don't get how you are thinking it as a sock.
they were sewn for a loss
easy to solve , but very well written

thanks chidam, that was cute as a button!
would a needle work too? That was my guess...
Good one! It got me!
u got me there nices one!!!!!!
LOL....I was thinking that it was a worm or fishing lure. Now I am thinking that I obviously need more coffee!!!
This is great. I thought needle. But that may be because I don't use a sewing machine...I prefer the old fashioned way.
I also thought it was a needle does it count that a needle fits in a sewing machine
Sewing needle would be a better answer, you don't "darn" with a sewing machine.
I was looking at sewing, a machine doesn't darn nor has feelings, but still a good teaser.
Nice teaser. A sewing machine can darn as my brand new sewing machine came with a darning plate for making repairs. Another answer for this teaser would also be a needle.
I read it too fast and thought of a yoyo. Great job Chidam!
Also thought it was a sewing needle. Good job!
I too thought needle!
Needle and thread...a needle needs thread to bring together or a safety pin.
But it was a nice teaser to get people thinking and contributing. Thanks for the teaser.
I love the 'darning' pun!
I DON'T, BUT CAN A SEWING MACHINE GIVE A DARN?
PREVIOUS INFORMATION NOT WITHSTANDING, I WENT WITH THE NEEDLE.

I was thinking knitting needles
I knew there was sewing in there somewhere
Hmm...oh...I thought about an elevator
I'm sorry, but I think the "clue" to this riddle is entirely too vaguely and confusingly worded. How can a sewing machine be said to be "darning my existence," for example? That's virtually meaningless.
that was to easy evan for me....
"Darning is a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric or knitting with needle and thread alone. It is often done by hand, but it is also possible to darn with a sewing machine." Taken from Wikipedia, for all the sceptics out there.
Actually, I had never heard of darning with a sewing machine before either. I went with needle. Oh well, can't win em all...

Have to agree with everyone else (even Imurray) darning means hand sewing with a needle to me.Good teaser tho.
It is a wonderful teaser, to get anyone thinking in the morning or during the day! Of course, it will also *bring out* ALL of the skeptics, who will give their views with the different answer, they came out with. Thank goodness, for a comment section. Keep creating your teasers!
haha i thought a zipper...
I think my mom is a good answer. She's constantly bringing the family together and darning our socks. And she has feelings a machine can't have. She was always hanging by a thread when juggling family finances. On this Thanksgiving Day I vote for mom.
Darn it all.... you got me on that one!!! Great job Chidam!!
I did find the teaser easy and did know the answer immediately, but it was a very good one. That being said I would like to comment on Synlapse's comment. What a beautiful thought of your mother. Such a nice tribute.
Cute riddle! Of course, I was clueless! Maybe next time I'll bother trying!
I got needle for the answer--never thought of any machine; the wording doesn't lend itself to machinery.
Just means there can be more than one "right" answer! The important thing is enjoying trying to get an answer.
And Synlapse, that was a lovely tribute to your mother. I've been missing mine for over 10 years, never stop thinking of her.

Sorry for the downer, guys; get back to smiling!
Just occurred to me I NEVER get riddles! Feels good to be part of the majority on this one!
got it in 1 second , so easy but I liked it cos I could solve it ha ha
I got it right away, a good one!
HOW DO I CHANG NAMES I CAN'T SET UP ANOTHER ACCOUNT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER EMAIL ADRESS!
wow, i must be really stupid..i thought it was marriage. although its not SUCH a bad guess- marriage brings two people together, and is filled with ups and downs. o well, better luck next time...i hope.
ohhh i was so close!!!! I guessed a thresd and needle oh well great teaser! keep up the good work!
i agree with others who said needle/sewing needle....the clues could refer to that....i liked it though....nice and simple....good job.....
I thought it was a yo-yo!
Very good though! Enjoyed it!
Keep up with the creative work!

DARN, (pun intended!), I was sure it was KNITTING NEEDLES!!
Needle,needle,needle. Don't mean to "needle" you, but I thought it was the answer also! Still a pretty good teaser,though.
You stumped me on this one too because I thought it was knitting needles too! Great one just the same. Fun to brainstorm for the answer. Good Job!
I usually don't get riddles (not my style of thinking) but I got this one! Woot!
P.S. Darning can be done on a sewing machine...my rather old machine gives detailed instructions on just how to do it.

Sewing machine is the only answer appropriate given the context clues. Neat Braingle, mom's are nice but still not the best answer
I was way off. I thought it was a YoYo.
Wow, the comments were really cool -- you folks had so many of the answers that I came up with, before deciding on Sewing Machine!! I first thought it was yoyo, and then thought it was socks, but kept thinking about it more...
I don't exactly know how resistance, thread, and darning came together in my head to give me the correct answer! but it did, and -- yay. My fiance, standing behind me, called me a nerd for getting it right. (He said mittens.)

I meant to also say, needle's a really good answer too.
I thought knitting needles I really liked it! Thank you!
I was thinking a zipper: Bring two together, zipping up.
Darning my existance, when it gets stuck, darn it!
It's attached with thread. It goes up and down, and there is resistance when zipping up a tight dress or pants.

There are several items that can comply, but I picked the right one because I CAN darn on my sewing machine. I have a zig zag button which lets me do that. This was an easy quiz as I see most everyone got it. At least to the point where it applied to so many. FUN!
A sewing needle - I'm pretty sure the average sewing machine doesn't darn in a traditional sense. Then there's the image of a 30 pound Singer sewing machine hanging by a thread. Hmm!
The devil is in the details folks.

I guess it wouldn't have made much sense, but I thought it was a yo-yo.
I thought it was a yo-yo as well!
