Smocking
Smocking is a youthful decorativo
detail that is particularly charming
when used for a yoke, insert or band
on baby clothes, little girls' dresses,
or lingerie.
When worked by hand, smocking is
a time consuming process. However,
the heavy-stitched look, typical of
hand work, can be accomplished
quickly
and
easily
with
your
machine when you use decorative
patterns.
Procedure
A test sample is always advisable to
check stitch settings. Be sure to use
the same fabric and degree of
fullness you plan for garment.
® Set tension dial between 0 and I.
o Space rows of straight stitching
with stitch length on 4 (maximum
length), 6 mm (1/4 inch) apart, on
the crosswise fabric grain.
« Pul! up evenly, gathering for the
amount
of
fullness
desired.
Secure thread ends by tying
knots close to the fabric to
prevent gathers from pullting out
of position.
® Baste section to be smocked to
underlay.
® Stitch over and between rows of
gathering with decorative stitching.
Creíate your own design or adapt
the ones illustrated. Use thread
that contrasts with or matches
your fabric, depending on the
'A desired.
