Using
the gathering foot.
v
Gathered fabric
Remove the presser foot holder and attach
the gathering foot, set the tension 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.
Suitable for light to medium weight fabrics. If
your fabric is light, such as batiste or lace, you
will have more gathers.
v
To gather and attach gathered
fabric in one step
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 at 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. Turn the
top layer of fabric right side out.
①
Top layer of fabric (wrong side)
②
Bottom layer of fabric (right side)
Note
- Please use the same fabric of the project
and do a sewing test in advance. When
testing machine for adjustments to
achieve desired fullness, work with 25cm
of the fabric, trims or elastic. This makes
it easier to determine the adjustments
and how much change is needed for
your project.
- Sew slow to medium speed for better
fabric control.
