Presser Foot:
• Trim all four edges of the sample fabrics before beginning.
• Select stitch #1; lengthen to 5mm and select the far left needle position.
• Place the 16" length of fabric right side up under the foot. Align the edge of the fabric with the
5/8" mark on the stitch plate. Stitch for 2"-3"; stop.
• Insert the 6" length of fabric into the slot of Foot #16, with the raw edge against the right side of the foot.
• Continue stitching, carefully guiding both pieces of fabric. Guide the fabric that is being gathered with
the left hand, the flat fabric with the right hand. Note that the fabric being gathered moves under the
foot much faster than the flat, top layer.
• Trim and mount sample.
Notes:
- There are three things that effect the amount of gathers:
1. Fabric Weight - The lighter weight the fabric, the easier to gather.
2. Tension - Increased upper tension will increase the amount of gathering.
3. Stitch Length - The longer the stitch length, the tighter the gathers.
- Use the basting stitch or the Long Stitch function to increase gathers in heavier weight fabrics
such as woolens and corduroys.
