Select the Zigzag stitch and adjust the width and length: SW = 2.5mm and SL = 2-2.5mm. Stitch ⅝" from one 12" edge; sewing over the cord, but not into it. Tie a knot in the cord at the beginning of the stitching and then pull it to gather the sample to 6". Notes - Gathering over cord adds additional strength, eliminates thread breakage, and allows better control of gathering. - Do not sew through the cording, or it won't be able to move through the channel formed by the stitches - After gathering the fabric, drop the feed dog and sew a bartack (see page 19) at the beginning and end of cord for strength. 12/13/10 Do you know how to: ▪ Attach a presser foot with one hand? ▪ Adjust stitch width and length? ▪ Drop the feed dog? 15
