• Raise the upper knife and adjust the cutting width to 3mm.
• Locate and loosen the silver fixing screw in front of the rolled hem lever.
• Slip the Gathering Attachment on to the fixing screw and metal post directly behind the fixing
screw. Hint: attach the horseshoe-shaped slot over the screw and then rotate the attachment to
lock over the metal post. Tighten the fixing screw.
• Return cutting width to 2mm (normal) and lower the upper knife into cutting position.
• Locate and adjust the differential feed dial to 2.
• Raise the presser foot and insert the 14" strip of fabric (right side up) under the Gathering Attachment.
The fabric is lying next to the stitch plate. Sew several stitches until the fabric is under the needles.
• Turn the handwheel to lower the needles. (This also lowers the feed dog.)
• Place the 8" strip of fabric (right side down) on top of the Gathering Attachment and under the presser
foot with the end of the 8" strip touching the needles.
• Serge the two strips together, the lower strip will gather as you sew.
