GATHERING 1.0 4.5 Gather a single layer of fabric, or, gather one layer while simultaneously attaching it to another fabric using the gathering foot. This foot works best when on light to medium weight fabrics. It is usually necessary to use an alternative sewing technique for gathering heavier fabrics. 1. Attach the gathering foot. 2. For gathering a single layer, just place a piece of fabric under the foot and adjust your stitch length and/or tighten the needle tension to automatically gather as you sew. The smaller sole on the bottom of the gathering foot causes the fabric to gather up behind the presser foot. 3. To get results by increasing stitch length. Test stitch length and tension adjustments to get the amount of gathers desired. Starting with the stitch length, begin by increasing the length the longer the length the fuller the gathers. 4. To get results by tightening needle tension. Using a stitch length of 2.5-3mm, increase the needle tension as you sew to get the results you desire. 5. To get results by increasing stitch length and needle tension. Combine an increased stitch length with a tightened needle tension for a fuller gather. Always test your results before sewing to achieve the effect you desire. Note: You can also use the standard presser foot to gather fabric by hand. First lower the tension setting to below 2 and pull the bobbin thread to gather the fabric. Attention: Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric control. 71 DECORATIVE TECHNIQUES

Gather a single layer of fabric, or, gather one
layer while simultaneously attaching it to another
fabric using the gathering foot. This foot works
best when on light to medium weight fabrics. It is
usually necessary to use an alternative sewing
technique for gathering heavier fabrics.
1. Attach the gathering foot
2. For gathering a single layer, just place a piece
of fabric under the foot and adjust your stitch
length and/or tighten the needle tension to
automatically gather as you sew. The smaller
sole on the bottom of the gathering foot causes
the fabric to gather up behind the presser foot.
3. To get results by increasing stitch length. Test
stitch length and tension adjustments to get
the amount of gathers desired. Starting with
the stitch length, begin by increasing the length
the longer the length the fuller the gathers.
4. To get results by tightening needle tension.
Using a stitch length of 2.5-3mm, increase the
needle tension as you sew to get the results
you desire.
5. To get results by increasing stitch length and
needle tension. Combine an increased stitch
length with a tightened needle tension for a
fuller gather. Always test your results before
sewing to achieve the effect you desire.
Note:
Attention:
You
can
also
use
the
standard
presser foot to gather fabric by hand. First
lower the tension setting to below 2 and
pull the bobbin thread to gather the fabric.
Sew slow to medium speed for
better fabric control.
