v Gathered fabric
Remove the presser foot holder and attach
the gathering foot, set the tension below 2.
Place fabric to be gathered under presser foot
to the right of the presser foot.
Sew a row of stitching, keeping the raw edge
of fabric aligned with the right edge of foot.
The stitches automatically cause the fabric to
gather.
Suitable for light to medium weight fabrics.
If your fabric is light, such as batiste or lace,
you will have more gathers.
v To gather and attach gathered
fabric in one step
Look closely at the gathering foot to see a
slot on the bottom. When using the slot, you
can gather the bottom layer of the fabric while
attaching it to a flat top layer, such as the
waistband on a dress bodice.

Please use the same fabric of the project
and do a sewing test in advance. When
testing machine for adjustments to achieve
desired fullness, work with 25cm of the
fabric, trims or elastic. This makes it easier
to determine the adjustments and how
much change is needed for your project
Sew slow to medium speed for better fabric
control.
