For smocking work, please note the following:
Gather the material evenly.
Place a narrow strip of fabric under the gathers and sew over them
using the smocking stitch.
Finish the smocking work before you insert this decorative piece in
the garment.
In the case of very lightweight fabrics, the same effect can be achie-
ved by using an elastic thread on the bobbin.
Overlock-overcast stitch
This stitch is particularly suitable for sewing and patching jersey and
track suits. The stitch is both decorative and functional. It consists of
smooth side lines with cross-connections and is completely elastic.

Position the edge of the fabric under the sewing foot so that the
needle sews straight stitches with the right deflection and just tou-
ches the edge of the fabric, so that a zigzag stitch is sewn with the
left deflection.
