Gathering with straight stitch
Use a slightly longer stitch than
normal straight stitch, 3.5-5.0.
Always sew two gathering threads
next to each other.
1. Pin the gathered part to the
corresponding garment section.
Make sure that the marks and the
seams correspond to each other,
or match notches.
2. Pull both bobbin threads from the
same direction and distribute the
gathering evenly. When half the
distance is gathered, wind the
threads around a pin. Then gather
the other half from the other
direction. Distribute the gathering
evenly.
3. Join the pieces with straight
stitch, the gathered material
facing up. Sew between the
straight gathering rows. Hold the
gathering with your fingers on
both sides of the needle to avoid
folds. Remove any gathering
thread that is visible.
