GATHERING

Gathered fabric

Remove the presser foot holder and attach the gathering foot, lowering the tension setting to below 2.

	Place fabric to be gathered under presser
	foot to the right of the presser foot. Sew a
03	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.

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 flat top layer, such as the waistband on a dress bodice.

1. Remove the presser foot holder and attach gathering foot.

2. Place the fabric to be gathered with right side up under the foot.

3. Place top layer of the fabric right side down in the slot.

4. Guide the two layers as illustrated.

Note:

- When testing machine for adjustments to achieve desired fullness, work with 10" increments of the fabric, trims or elastic. This makes it easier to determine the adjustments and how much change is needed for your project. Always test on your project fabric and on the same grainline as will be used in your finished project.

Using the crossgrain of the fabric will make prettier gathers than the straight of grain.

- Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric control.
