11 I Smocking with elastic thread prog Stitch length: 3 to 4 mm Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tension- free on bobbin) For sewing with elastic threads we recommei buying an additional bobbin case. Because elastic threads are much thicker than ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobb. case has to be set looser. The greater the bobh thread tension the greater the shirring effect. The most suitable fabrics are nylon, satin, batist and fine-knit fabrics. The amount of gathering cc be determined by testing on a piece of waste fabri Sew the seams at about foot width. Tie off the seam on the reverse fabric side at the beginning and en of the seams (Fig. 1). If there are several parallel seams, the materi: must be stretched to its original width during sev ing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregula Do not forget to carry out a sewing test. i, 1a I4 86
