or 1/2").

plate.

Loosen the adjusting screw j on the elastic gath-
erer. Angle cut elastic end and insert elastic into slot
k. Pull elastic through slot until 4 cm – 5 cm (1 1/2" -
2") extends out the back. Tighten adjusting screw.

Fagoting (Bridging) Plate
30
Fagoting (bridging) is a technique seen in heirloom
sewing. Two folded edges are joined together by
threads over an open area. Use linen, cotton or
blend of linen/cotton.
Remove the bobbin cover plate and attach the nar-
row fagoting plate.
Thread machine, needle and bobbin with a fine em-
broidery thread (50 weight or finer). Use spray starch
to stabilize fabric.
Fold and press under seam allowance to wrong side
of fabric.
Place folded fabric right side up on both sides of fag-
oting plate. Sew slowly, guiding the fabrics against
the fagoting plate. Adjust stitch width so needle
catches folded edges.
