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 gar-
ment.
In very light fabrics, you can achieve the same effect with an elastic thread.

6.11.12. Overlock 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 presser foot so that the needle (26)
sews straight stitches with the right deflection and just touches the edge of
the fabric, so that a zigzag stitch is sewn with the left deflection.
