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 and secure the threads.
Sew the smocking stitches between the gathered rows.
Remove the straight stitches by pulling them out.
