Utility stitches and practical sewing Models 1032, 1042: stitch E stretch Gathering with the elastic thread Sleeve and waist seams can be gathered with ease using an elastic thread. The elastic thread does not have to be wound onto the bobbin. • Mark the Àrst gathering seam on the reverse side of the fabric. • Sew a few stitches using the honeycomb stitch and leave the needle in the fabric. The needle must be in the middle of the presser foot. Raise the presser foot and lay the elastic thread around the needle. • Lower the presser foot and sew a few stitches. Pull the elastic thread evenly at both ends. • You determine the amount of gather by the amount you pull the threads. • The gather can also be altered after sewing by pulling the ends of the elastic threads. • Knot the threads and the elastic to secure the gathers. Tip: The cording foot (special accessories) is particularly suitable for gathering. Due to its guide grooves the elastic is fed evenly during the sewing process. 41

Models 1032, 1042: stitch E stretch
Gathering with the elastic thread
Sleeve and waist seams can be gathered
with ease using an elastic thread. The
elastic thread does not have to be wound
onto the bobbin.
• Mark the
À
rst gathering seam on the
reverse side of the fabric.
• Sew a few stitches using the honey-
comb stitch and leave the needle in
the fabric. The needle must be in the
middle of the presser foot. Raise the
presser foot and lay the elastic thread
around the needle.
• Lower the presser foot and sew a few
stitches. Pull the elastic thread evenly
at both ends.
• You determine the amount of gather by
the amount you pull the threads.
• The gather can also be altered after
sewing by pulling the ends of the elastic
threads.
• Knot the threads and the elastic to se-
cure the gathers.
Tip:
The cording foot (special ac-
cessories) is particularly suitable for
gathering. Due to its guide grooves the
elastic is fed evenly during the sewing
process.
