Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on
children’s clothes or women’s blouses.
Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste,
gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three times wider than
the projected width. Set stitch length at “5.0”, loosen the
thread tension to 0 and sew rows of straight stitches 3/8˝
(1.0 cm) apart across the area to be smocked.
NOTE:
Pull up the bobbin thread and draw a 4˝ to 6˝ thread
tail to the back before start sewing.
Knot the threads along one edge
q
. From the other
edge, pull the bobbin threads (bottom threads) to
distribute the gathers
w
evenly.
Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.

not to cut the thread.
