/ Smocking / with elastic thread I L prog I -- (() 00 3-5 0 Stitch length: 3 to 4 mm Bobbin thread: elastic thread, (wind tension- free on bobbin) Needle thread: sewing thread For sewing with elastic threads we recommend buying an additional bobbin case. Because elastic threads are much thicker than an ordinary bobbin thread, the tension on the bobbin case has to be set looser. The greater the bobbin thread tension the greater the shirring effect. The most suitable fabrics are nylon, satin, batiste and fine-knit fabrics. The amount of gathering can be determined by testing on a piece of waste fabric. Sew the seams at about foot width (Fig. 1). Tie off the seams on the reverse fabric side at the beginning and end of the seams. If there are several parallel seams, the material must be stretched to its original width during sewing, otherwise the shirring will turn out irregu lar. Do not forget to carry out a sewing test. 88

For
sewing
with
elastic
threads
we
recommend
buying
an
additional
bobbin
case.
Because
elastic
threads
are
much
thicker
than
an
ordinary
bobbin
thread,
the
tension
on
the
bobbin
case
has
to
be
set
looser.
The
greater
the
bobbin
thread
tension
the
greater
the
shirring
effect.
The
most
suitable
fabrics
are
nylon,
satin,
batiste
and
fine-knit
fabrics.
The
amount
of
gathering
can
be
determined
by
testing
on
a
piece
of
waste
fabric.
Sew
the
seams
at
about
foot
width
(Fig.
1).
Tie
off
the
seams
on
the
reverse
fabric
side
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
the
seams.
If
there
are
several
parallel
seams,
the
material
must
be
stretched
to
its
original
width
during
sewing,
otherwise
the
shirring
will
turn
out
irregu
lar.
Do
not
forget
to
carry
out
a
sewing
test.
