Pfaff Creative 7510 A - Darning and Repair Techniques; Darning with Elastic Stitch (Program 03)

Gathering with
elastic threads
This kind of gathering
is particularly
suitable for
visible,
elastic gathering on blouse
sleeves, waist
seams or neck
cutouts.
• Mark the first
gathering seam
line on the reverse
side of the
fabric.
• Allow
program 14
to
sew a few
stitches and
stop
with
the needle in the fabric. The
needle
must be positioned
in
the
middle of
the
sewing
foot
Then lift the
sewing foot
and
place the
elastic thread around
the
needle.
• Lower the sewing
foot and sew a few stitches.
Then pull both ends
of the elastic threads.
• You determine the amount
of gather
by the
amount
you pull the
threads as you sew.
• You can also change
the amount of
gather after
sewing
by pulling the
ends of the elastic
threads.
• Tie off the threads.
TIP:
The pintuck foot (special
accessories)
is
particularly suitable
for gathering. Due to its
guide
grooves,
the elastic is fed
uniformly
during the
sewing process.
