Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment 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 cm) apart across the area to be smocked.

Knot the threads along the edge. Pull the bobbin threads to

distribute the gathers evenly and secure the threads.

Sew the decorative stitches of your choice between the

gathered rows. Remove the gathering stitches.

NOTE:
Loosen the top thread tension to make gathering easier.
