SINGER W310 - Manual (Page 27)

Ordinary gathering with a basting stitch
often breaks thread while pulling in full­
ness. A small zigzag across a cord such as
crochet thread or carpet thread, gives a
much stronger cord for gathering fullness
into fabrics. Once the gathers have been
stitched in place, the cord can be pulled
out in order to eliminate bulk.

GATHERING OVER A CORD
LACE APPLICATION
Attaching laces or trims adds a special
touch to lingerie, dresses, or linens. Pin
or baste lace in place easing or mitering
corners where necessary.
A straight edged lace or braid has a
convenient line to follow when sewing.
When using a scalloped edged lace, follow
the design of the lace for an almost
invisible application.

FLUTTER HEM
An unusual way of hemming or finishing
edges of tricot or soft knits is by a flutter
edge. Hemming in this manner is just like
overcasting an edge, but the fabric is
stretched in back and in front of the
needle as you sew. For best results, pull
the fabric equally, making sure the needle
goes over the edge. When you stop to
reposition your hands, keep the needle in
the fabric.
