DECORATIVE STITCHING
21
Decorative satin stitch
Sew a row of stitches and adjust the thread tension so the upper
thread appears slightly on the reverse side of the fabric.
Test the stitch on actual fabric for the best results.
Honeycomb stitch /
Smocking
With the stitch length “4", sew straight stitching; lines 3/8 apart across the area to be smocked. Knot the threads along one edge,
pull the bobbin threads and distribute the gathers evenly. Secure the thread at the other end. Sew the decorative stitch between
the gathering stitches. Pull out the gathering stitches.
NOTE: Loosen the top thread tension to make gathering easier.
