Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on
children’s clothes or women’s blouses.
Use a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste, gingham
or challis.
Cut the fabric three times wider than the projected width.
Select straight stitch, set stitch length at “5.0” and loosen
the thread tension.
Sew rows of straight stitches 1 cm (3/8˝) apart across the
area to be smocked. Knot the threads along one edge.
From the other edge, pull the bobbin threads to distribute
the gathers evenly.

Sew the smocking stitch pattern between the rows of
straight stitches.

NOTE:
Pull up the bobbin thread and draw a 4˝(10 cm) thread
tail to the back before starting to sew.
Use the thread cutter on the face cover when cutting
the threads (refer to page 26).
