Simple gathering stitches should be rather long and the upper
thread tension sufficiently light to enable the lower thread to be pulled.
Sew as usual, but preferably stitch two rows.
Use the presser foot as guide. When both rows have been stit­
ched, pull the lower thread so as to form gathers in the fabric. (Fig. 40).

By using latex thread you can make elastic gathers. Wind the
elastic thread by hand on the bobbin, and use ordinary thread for the
upper thread. The kind of gathering is especially suitable for under­
wear, children’s clothes, beach wear, etc. (Fig 41).
