Gathering

Machine Preparation:

Sewing Instructons:

- Pattern: Straight Stitch

Use this technique for gathering waistbands, sleeve caps etc. At

1/4 of an inch from the edge of the seam, begin by backstitching

and then continue to sew the length required.
When seam is complete, raise the needle to it's highest, raise

the presser foot and pull the upper and lower threads to the

back of the foot.
Cut your thread ends leaving a minimum 6 inches of thread.
Repeat this procedure once again at 1/4 of an inch from your

first row of stitching.
Once the two rows are completed, draw in your fabric the

required amount by pulling on the bobbin thread. Secure thread

ends.
