Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on
children’s clothes or women’s blouses.
Use a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste, gingham
or challis.
Cut the fabric three times wider than the projected width.
Select straight stitch, set stitch length at “5.0” and loosen
the thread tension.
Sew rows of straight stitches 3/8˝(1 cm) apart across the
area to be smocked. Knot the threads along one edge.
From the other edge, pull the bobbin threads to distribute
the gathers evenly.

Sew the smocking stitch pattern between the rows of
straight stitches.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.

NOTE:
Use the thread cutter on the face cover when cutting
the threads (refer to page 27).
A pre-programmed stippling stitch is a fast and easy
method to quilt small areas.
Place a batting (wadding) between quilt top and backing
fabric.
