Gathering

To gather and attach gathered fabric in

one step

Look closely at the gathering foot to see a

slot on the bottom.

When using the slot, you can gather the

bottom layer of the fabric while attaching it to

a flat top layer, such as the waistband on a

dress bodice.

1. Remove the presser foot holder and

attach gathering foot.

2. Place the fabric to be gathered with right

side up under the foot.

3. Place top layer of the fabric right side

down in the slot.

4. Guide the two layers as illustrated.

- Sew slow to medium speed for better

fabric control.

Note:

- When testing machine for adjustments to

achieve desired fullness, work with 10"

increments of the fabric, trims or elastic.

This makes it easier to determine the

adjustments and how much change is

needed for your project. Always test on

your project fabric and on the same

grainline as will be used in your finished

project.

Using the crossgrain of the fabric will make

prettier gathers than the straight of grain.

Gathered fabric

Remove the presser foot holder and attach

the gathering foot, lowering the tension

setting to below 2.

Suitable for light to medium weight

fabrics.

Place fabric to be gathered under presser

foot to the right of the presser foot. Sew a row

of stitching, keeping the raw edge of fabric

aligned with the right edge of foot.

The stitches automatically cause the fabric to

gather.

* The accessory is optional. It is

not included with this machine.
