Insert the needle at the seam beginning point and place an elastic thread around the needle. Insert the elastic thread in the groove of the sewing foot in use. Lower the sewing foot and sew a number of seams at about foot width. Ensure that the elastic thread is not pierced during sewing and do not stretch it. Finally, pull the threads with your hand, and determine the amount of gather yourself. Knot the threads on the inside (see Fig. 1).
