Gathering

SA171

Optional PQ foot, used for creating gathered fabric or easing sleeve caps

Machine Set-Up:

Feed dogs up using one of two settings based on fabric. Adjust other settings for the fabric used.

Materials Needed for Sample:

Middleweight linen-like fabric and batiste

General Sewing Directions:

The amount of gathering or easing differs depending on the fabric being sewn, the tension of the upper thread and the stitch length. Adjust the settings based on your test of the fabric you plan to use.

Specific PQ Sample Directions:

Sample one is a middleweight cotton and used a stitch length of 3.5 with tension about 4. For the batiste, the pressure foot dial and feed dogs were moved to lightweight and the tighter gather was achieved.
