Smocking
The decorative stitch created by stitching or embroidering over gathers is called
"smocking".
It is used to decorate the front of blouses or cuffs. The smocking stitch adds texture
and elasticity to the fabric.
Increase the stitch length to maximum,
set the tension below 2. Use the all
purpose foot to sew basting lines 1cm
(3/8") across the area to be smocked.

sew decorative pattern stitches between
the straight seams.
