Perfect for gathering a single layer or simultaneously gathering and stitching two layers of fabric, (the bottom fabric layer will be gathered and the top layer remains flat.) Suitable for light to medium fabrics.
How to use:
Set the overlock or coverstitch to the diesired stitch.
Attach the gathering foot.
Insert the bottom fabric layer (fabric to be gathered) between the needle plate and the gathering foot all the way up to the cutter. Make sure the fabric is right side up.
Insert the top fabric layer in the opening of the Gathering foot and even with the bottom layer right side down.
Lower the presser foot and sew. Guide the fabric against the fabric guide, letting the bottom layer feed freely to gather.
TIP - to increase the fullness of the gather:
Increase the needle tension
Set the differential feed to a higher number
Adjust the stitch length to a higher number
A single layer of fabric may also be gathered by placing it under the foot and adjusting stitch length, differential feed and needle thread tension to desired fullness.
