Smocking
Smocking is a delicate, decorative treatment on
children’s clothing or women’s blouses. Choose a soft,
lightweight fabric such as batiste, gingham or challis. Cut
the fabric three times the finished width.
1. Sew rows of straight stitches about 13 mm (1/2”)
apart across the area to be smocked. Tie the threads
along one edge. Pull the bobbin threads to gather the
fabric.
2. Distribute the gathers evenly. Tie the threads at the
other end.
3. Turn the stitch selection knob to a decorative stitch.
• Use any setting for stitch length.
4. Sew the decorative stitch between the straight
stitching lines.
5. Pull out straight stitching lines.
