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” and sew rows of straight stitches
3/8˝ (1.0 cm) apart across the area to be smocked.
Knot the threads along one edge
. From the other edge, pull
the bobbin threads (bottom threads) to distribute the gathers
evenly. Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows.
PLEASE NOTE:
Pull up the bobbin thread and draw a 4˝ to 6˝ thread tail
to the back before start sewing.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.
