Fagoting
q F: Satin stitch foot
Fold under 1.5 cm (1/2˝) on each fabric edge and
press.
Pin the two edges to paper 0.3 cm (1/8˝) apart.
Sew slowly guiding the fabric so the needle catches the
folded edge on each side.
Elastic Stitch
q F: Satin stitch foot
Choose this stitch to attach elastic to garments.
Mark the elastic into quarters and match these to the
center front, center back and side seams.
Place the middle of the elastic under the center of the
presser foot and stitch into place, making sure the
elastic is evenly distributed.
Smocking
q F: Satin stitch foot
With the manual stitch length at 4.5, sew straight lines
1 cm (3/8˝) apart, across the area to be smocked.
A looser needle thread tension will make gathering
easier. Knot the threads along one edge.
Pull the bobbin threads and distribute the gathers
evenly.
Secure the threads at the other end.
Reduce the tension and pressure if necessary and sew
pattern stitches between the straight seams.
Pull out the gathering stitches.
