Place a single cord in the center groove of the foot.
Secure the cord by tying a knot at the back of the foot.
Place the fabric under the foot.
Sew a test to ensure that the Zigzag stitches are sewing over the cord, not
into the cord. The Zigzag stitch makes a casing for the cord.
After stitching is finished, pull the cord which will draw up or gather the
fabric.
Adjust the gathers evenly by sliding the fabric along the cord.
Sew a straight stitch to secure the gathers into place.
