Smocking is a delicate decorative treatment used on
children's clothes or women's blouses.
Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as batiste,
gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three times wider than
the projected width. Set stitch length at "4" and sew rows of
straight stitches 3/8˝ (1.0 cm) apart across the area to be
smocked.
Knot the threads along one edge. From the other edge, pull
the bobbin threads (bottom threads) to distribute the
gathers evenly.
Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows.
Remove the straight stitches between the gathered rows.

Use this stitch to join two pieces of fabric to create an open
work appearance and add design interest.
Fold under each fabric edge 5/8˝ (1.5 cm) and press. Pin
the two edges to paper or tear away backing 1/8˝ apart.
Sew slowly, guiding the fabric so the needle catches the
folded edge on each side.
After finishing sewing, tear away the paper.
