These stitches are used to join two pieces of fabric while leaving a space between their edges.

Este tipo de puntada se utiliza para unir dos trozos de tela, dejando un espacio entre sus bordes.

1Fold over the edges of the two pieces of fabric for the hem and baste the edges to a thin piece of paper leaving a small space between them.

Doble los bordes de los dos trozos de tela para el dobladillo e hilvánelos a un papel fino, dejando un pequeño espacio entre ellos.

2Set the pattern selection dial to the Smocking Stitch, Fagoting Stitch, or Decorative Stitch.

Ajuste el selector de puntadas en la puntada de smocking, la vainica o la puntada decorativa.

3Stitch along the edge, pulling both threads slightly when beginning to sew.

Cosa a lo largo del borde, tirando ligeramente de los dos hilos cuando comience a coser.

Use thicker than normal threads for sewing.

Utilice hilos más gruesos de lo normal para la costura.

4After sewing, remove the basting and the paper. Finish by tying knots on the reverse side at the beginning and the end of the seams.
