Utility stitches and practical sewing
Gathering with the straight stitch
Using a straight stitch, you can gather
sleeves, skirts and valances with a stitch
length of 6 mm. To ensure consistent
gathering you should sew two or three
rows of gathering.
•
Mark the
À
rst line on the right side
of the fabric and sew along it. Allow the
threads to extend approx. 10 – 20 cm.
•
Each subsequent seam can be sewn
one presser foot width from the last.
•
Gather the piece of fabric by pulling
the bobbin thread. You determine the
amount of gather by how much you pull
the thread.
•
Finally, the thread ends are knotted to
secure the gather.
Tip:
