Smocking

Smocking is a youthful decorativo

detail that is particularly charming

when used for a yoke, insert or band
on baby clothes, little girls' dresses,
or lingerie.

When worked by hand, smocking is
a time consuming process. However,

the heavy-stitched look, typical of
hand work, can be accomplished

quickly

and

easily

with

your

machine when you use decorative

patterns.

Procedure

A test sample is always advisable to
check stitch settings. Be sure to use
the same fabric and degree of

fullness you plan for garment.

® Set tension dial between 0 and I.

o Space rows of straight stitching

with stitch length on 4 (maximum

length), 6 mm (1/4 inch) apart, on
the crosswise fabric grain.

« Pul! up evenly, gathering for the

amount

of

fullness

desired.

Secure thread ends by tying
knots close to the fabric to

prevent gathers from pullting out
of position.

® Baste section to be smocked to

underlay.

® Stitch over and between rows of

gathering with decorative stitching.
Creíate your own design or adapt
the ones illustrated. Use thread
that contrasts with or matches

your fabric, depending on the

'A desired.
