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
