Smocking is a delicate, decorative treatment on children's
clothes or women's blouses.
Choose a soft, lightweight fabric such as batiste, gingham
or challis. Cut the fabric three times the projected width.
Select straight stitch #01 and set the stitch length at 4.0.
Loosen the thread tension to "1" and seam 1cm apart
across the area to be smocked.
Knot the threads along one edge. From the other end,
pull the bobbin threads to distribute the gathers evenly.
Secure the threads at the other end.
Sew the smocking stitches between the straight seams.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.

For better sewing results, a stabilizer should be used on
the wrong side of the fabric when sewing knits or stretch
fabrics.
