To gather
a
sheer
or
medium
fabric, make
use
of
the
stitch
length (and
the
tension,
if
necessary):
maximum
stitch
length
and a weak
upper
tension (lower numbers). Sew
two
parallel
rows
of
stitches,
one
next
to
the
other.
Knot
the threads
at
one
end and pull
the
two
lower
threads
to
form
the gathers. Thus,
the gathers
can
be easily spread
out
evenly,
to
accentuate
the
roundness
of
an
armhole,
for
example.
Gathering With Elastic Thread

elastic thread (such
as
Lastex) by hand
or
machine
onto
the bobbin, smoothly and
without
stretching it, then
put
the
bobbin
into
the
bobbin
case, drawing the thread through
the
tension,
as
usual. The
upper
thread should be
a
good quality
sewing
or
embroidery thread. Try
out
before doing the actual
sewing job. The gathers
will
be
more
pronounced
with
a long
stitch (if necessary, increase the
upper
tension). The material
needed
will
be about twice the length
of
the finished
work.
it
is possible
to
sew
two,
three
or
more
rows
of
gathers. To
sew
the second and'successive
rows,
stretch
the
material in
front
of
the
foot
to
avoid the preceding gathers
from
being
sewn
in,
under the
foot.

The zipper
foot
can
be
set
either
to
the
left
or
right
of
the
needle. This makes
it
possible
to
sew
in the zip fastener
without
turning the work, by sewing
first
on
one
side of the
foot
and
then
on
the other. Begin
with
the fastener opened. Then,
when the middle is reached, leave the needle in the
material
and close the zip. This makes
it
easier
to
pass
the
clasp.
