Smocking
is a delicate
decorative
treatment
on
children's
clothes
or women's
blouses.
Choose
a soft and lightweight
fabric
such as batiste,
gingham
or challis.
Cut the fabric three times wider
than the projected
width,
Set stitch
length at "4"
and sew rows of straight
stitches
1 cm (3/8)
apart
across the area to be smocked.
Knot the threads
along the edge.
Pull the bobbin
threads
to distribute
the gathers
evenly and secure
the threads.
Sew the decorative
stitches
of your choice
between
the gathered
rows.
Remove
the gathering
stitches.
NOTE:
Loosen
the needle thread
tension
to make
gathering
easier.

This stitch is ideal for 0.6 cm (1/4") seams on knits or
on medium
to heavyweight
woven fabrics
where you
want a narrow
seam.
It is also great for sewing
spandex
swim wear.
Place the fabric under the presser foot [A] so that the
stitches
are made over the raw edge.
