Step 1:
Choose a soft and lightweight fabric such as
batiste, gingham or challis. Cut the fabric three
times wider than the project width.
Increase the stitch length to "4" and loosen
thread tension to "1". Sew rows of straight
stitches 3/8" (1 cm) apart across the area to be
smocked.

Step 2:
Knot the threads along one end. From the other
end, pull the bobbin threads to distribute gathers
evenly and secure the threads.
Return the thread tension to the original setting.
Sew rows of the smocking stitch between the
gathering stitches.
Remove the gathering stitches after finished.
