Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on children's clothes or women's blouses.

Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste, gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three times wider than the projected width. Set stitch length at "4" and sew rows of straight stitches 3/8" (1.0 cm) apart across the area to

be smocked.

Knot the threads along one edge _2_. From the other edge, pull the bobbin threads (bottom threads) to distribute the gathers evenly and secure the threads. Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows. Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.
