Remove the presser foot holder and attach the
gathering foot, lowering the tension setting to
below 2.
Place fabric to be gathered under presser foot
to the right of the presser foot.
Sew a row of stitching, keeping the raw edge of
fabric aligned with the right edge of foot. The
stitches automatically cause the fabric to gather.

your fabric is light, such as batiste or lace, you

Look closely at the gathering foot to see a slot
on the bottom.
When using the slot, you can gather the bottom
layer of the fabric while attaching it to a flat top
layer, such as the waistband on a dress bodice.
- Remove the presser foot holder and attach
gathering foot.
- Place the fabric to be gathered with right side
up under the foot.

- Place top layer of the fabric right side down in
the slot.
- Guide the two layers as illustrated.
Please
Note:
- When testing machine for adjustments to
achieve desired fullness, work with 10"
increments of the fabric, trims or elastic. This
makes it easier to determine the adjustments
and how much change is needed for your
project. Always test on your project fabric and
on the same grainline as will be used in your
finished project.
- Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric
control.
