To obtain neat and even gathers you should sew two or three rows of gathering stitches. - Mark the first gathering line on the right side of the fabric. Sew along this line. Leave about 4-5 inches (10-13cm) of thread at the beginning and end of the seam. - Sew 1 or 2 more rows of stitching, using the edge of the presser foot as a guide. - Gather the fabric by pulling the bobbin (bottom) threads to the desired fullness. - Distribute the gathers evenly and knot the thread ends together to secure the gathering. TIP: It is important to use a strong thread when gathering to avoid thread breakage when pulling on the gathering threads. 50 Gathering with elastic threads Gathering with elastic thread is particularly suitable for visible, elastic gathering seams such as blouse sleeves, waist seams or necklines. - Mark the first gathering row on the fabric. - Sew a few stitches until the needle is in the middle of the sewing foot. Turn the hand wheel towards yourself until the needle is in the lowest position. Raise the sewing foot and place the elastic thread around the back of the needle. - Lower the sewing foot and sew a fow more stitches to secure the elastic thread to the fabric. Continue attaching elastic threads to fabric. - When you are finished attaching the elastic thread, pull on the ends of the elastic threads to gather. The amount of gathering is determined by the amount you pull on the elastic thread. Secure all thread ends. TIP: If you work with the cording foot (special accessory), the elastic threads should be laid in the foot from the side and drawn into the grooves. During stitching of the gathering seam ensure that the elastic thread is not stretched or pierced by the needle. 2020 PrOg• v1.1., VW < > VW •' • ."dIJA- (1 /113/ 47 " 72. ,11/ /3 A 7.1/ 2010 - - - - - Cross hem stitch (2020) This highly elastic stitch is very suitable for decorative hems, i.e. on T-shirts and under wear.

TIP: You may find it easier to guide the fabric edges when using the faggoting guide (special accessory). It is available in 3 mm and 5 mm widths. The small post on the bottom of the guide is inserted in the small hole at the front of the needle plate. 51
