Gathering With Straight Stitch - Husqvarna Lily 555 User Manual

Gathering with straight stitch

Use a slightly longer stitch than nor-
mal straight stitch, 3.5-5.0. Always
sew two gathering threads next to
each other.
1. Pin the gathered part to the
corresponding garment section.
Make sure that the marks and the
seams correspond to each other,
or match notches.
2. Pull both bobbin threads from
the same direction and distribute
the gathering evenly. When half
the distance is gathered, wind the
threads around a pin. Then gather
the other half from the other
direction. Distribute the gathering
evenly.
3. Join the pieces with straight stitch,
the gathered material facing up.
Sew between the straight gathe-
ring rows. Hold the gathering
with your fi ngers on both sides of
the needle to avoid folds. Re-
move any gathering thread that is
visible.
