ELASTIC THREAD SHIRRING
Cuffs and bodices of little girls dresses can be shir
red easily with the smocking stitch. Place the right
side of the garment down on the bed of the
machine. Place two strands of elastic thread under
the foot. Stretch the elastic thread while sewing
with the smocking stitch to gather cuffs or bodice
for a feminine effect.
PROCEDURE:
• The smocking stitch is a very useful special ultra
stretch stitch.
• Lingerie or tricot seams should only be about 1 /8
inch finished width.
• Fagoting can be achieved by joining the folded
edge of two piece of fabric together with a gap
between them. Use a sheer flesh colored piece of
fabric underneath to make the fagoting much
stronger and prettier. ■
• Do the fagoting with a piece of paper underneath
and remove the paper by hand washing.
