The
material
to
be
gathered
always
lies
under
the
foot
and
the
flat
piece
in
the
slot.
The
flat
piece
of
material
is
inclined
to
slip
out
of
the
slot.
In
order
to
avoid
this
the
work
should
be
guided
as
shown
in
the
illustration,
by
holding
the
lower
piece
with
the
left
hand
and
the
upper
piece
with
the
right
hand.
Always
pull
slightly
towards
the
right
hand
corner
of
the

foot.
Calculation:
The
amount
of
gather
depends
on
the
length
of
the
stitch.
The
longer
the
stitch
the
tighter
the
gather.
For
tight
gathering
the
upper
piece
of
material
can
be
pulled
a
lithe.
