TO GATHER AND JOIN A SECOND FLAT FABRIC AT THE SAME TIME:
1. Attach the gathering foot to the machine.
2. The seam allowance width can be adjusted by loosening the screw on the front of the presser foot, sliding the guide to the desired position, and retightening the screw.
3. Place the fabric to be gathered under the presser foot with the right side up, between the gathering foot and the needle plate.
4. Place the fabric that will NOT be gathered in the slit of the presser foot, with the right side down.
5. Lower the presser foot and sew. Keep the two layers of fabric aligned with the guide to the right of the presser foot. Feed them together, gathering and sewing them together.
NOTE: A HIGHER STITCH LENGTH, TENSION, AND FEED WILL PRODUCE FULLER GATHERING.
