Step 1:
Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste,
gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three times wider than
the project width.
Increase the stitch length to "4" and loosen thread
tension to "1". Sew rows of straight stitches 3/8" (1 cm)
apart across the area to be smocked.
q 3/8˝ (1 cm)
Step 2:
Knot the threads along one end. From the other end, pull
the bobbin threads to distribute gathers evenly and
secure the threads.
Return the thread tension to the original setting.
Sew rows of the smocking stitch between the gathering
stitches.
Remove the gathering stitches after finished.
