Utility stifehet and practical sewing Smocking effect with elastic threads Fine, light fabrics such as batiste, rayon and silk are especially suitable for beau tiful smocking work. For smocking work with elastic thread you should use an ad ditional bobbin case and wind it by hand with the elastic thread. As the elastic thread is much stronger than the normal bobbin thread, the tension of the bobbin case must be set very loose. Dont forget however, the higher the bobbin thread ten sion, the tighter the gathering effect. • Sew a test seam to determine the level of gather. Mark the first line on the face side of the fabric and sew along it. • Each additional seam can be sewn at a presser foot's width from the first row. • When sewing several seams next to one another, you must stretch the fabric to its original length when sewing the sub sequent seams. Otherwise the gather will be irregular. Knot the threads at the beginning and end of the seam on the reverse side. 29

Smocking
effect
with
elastic
threads
Fine,
light
fabrics
such

batiste,
rayon
and
silk
are
especially
suitable
for
beau

For

with
elastic
thread
you
should
use
an

and
wind
it
by
hand
with
the
elastic
thread.
As
the
elastic
thread
is
much
stronger
than
the
normal
bobbin
thread,
the
tension
of
the
bobbin
case
must
be
set
very
loose.
Dont
forget
however,
the
higher
the
bobbin
thread
ten
sion,
the
tighter
the
gathering
effect.
Sew
a
test
seam
to
determine
the
level
of
gather.
Mark
the
first
line
on
the
face
side
of
the
fabric
and

it.
Each

When

you
must
stretch

when
sewing
the

seams.
Otherwise
the

will
be

Knot
the
