you should
sew
two
or
three
rows
of
gathering
stitches.

to
6.0
mm.
Lower

thread
tension
to
3.
•
Mark
the
first
gathering
line
on
the
right
side
of
the
fabric.
Sew
along
this
line.
Leave
about
4-5
inches
(10-13
cm)
of
thread
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
the
seam.
•
Sew
1
or
2
more
rows
of
stitching,
using
the
edge
of
the
presser
foot
as
a
guide.
•
Gather
the
fabric
by
pulling
the
bobbin
(bottom)
threads
to
the

fullness.
•
Distribute
the
gathers
evenly
and
knot
the
thread
ends
together
to
secure
the
gathering.

It
is
important
to

a

threads.

of
the
presser
foot.
Turn the
hand-wheel
towards
yourself
until
the
needle
is
in
the
lowest
position.
Raise
the
presser
foot
and
place
the
elastic
thread
around
the
back
of
the
needle.
•
Lower
the
presser
foot
and
sew
a
few
more
stitches
to
secure
the
elastic
thread
to
the
fabric.
Continue
attaching
elastic
threads
to
fabric.
Make
sure
you
do
not
catch
the
elastic
thread
in
the
stitching.
•
When
you
are
finished
attaching
the
elastic
thread,
pull
on
the
ends
of
the
elastic
threads
to
gather.
The
amount
of
gathering
is
determined
by
the
amount
you
pull
on
the
elastic
thread.
Secure
all
thread
ends.
Tip: Use
the
cording
foot
(special
