4. Increase the stitch length. A stitch length of 4 is the
recommended setting.
5. Increase the differential feed by moving the lever towards
the number 2. The higher the differential feed the more
the fabric will gather.
6. For best results place fabric to be gathered right side up
under the presser foot and past the grove on the
underside of the foot.
7. Place the fabric up to the needles. Turn the handwheel
3-4 turns to catch the fabric with the needles.
8. Can also be used with chain stich.
9. The foot has tape sewing slots on the front to easily guide
narrow ribbons, elastics and tapes.
