To ensure consistent gathering you should sew two or three rows of gathering. • Mark the first line on the right side of the fabric and sew along it. Allow the threads to extend approx. 10 - 20 cm. Each subsequent seam can be sewn one presser foot width from the last. Gather the piece of fabric by pulling the bobbin thread. You determine the amount of gather by how much you pull the thread. Finally, the thread ends are knotted to secure the gather. Tip: The cording foot (special accessory) is particularly suitable for gathering. Due to its guide grooves the elastic is fed evenly during the sewing process. Gathering with elastic thread Sleeve and waist seams can be gathered by sewing over an elastic thread. • Mark the first gathering seam on the reverse side of the fabric. • Sew a few stitches using stitch F. Leave the needle in the fabric, The needle must be in the center 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. Then pull the elastic thread evenly at both ends. • 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. Finally, knot the threads. 30
