Gathering with straight stitches works best on light to
medium weight fabrics.
Decrease tension to between 1 and 3. Increase stitch
length to 5.0.
Sew two rows of parallel stitches. Sew first row next to
raw edge using foot A as guide. Sew second row next
to first row using foot A as guide. Leave long thread
tails at beginning and end of each row.
Pull on the bobbin threads simultaneously from each
end of the fabric until the desired amount is gathered.
Knot the threads at each end and distribute the
gathers evenly.
Increase tension to 4 and decrease stitch length to
2.4.
Sew between two rows of stitching to secure gather-
ing.
OR
Lay gather fabric over flat fabric and sew the two
fabrics together directly on the second row of
gathering stitches.
