And assembly with a fixture is ideal for sewing tiered boho skirts and sewing on gathered lace…
Assembly with fixture
To install it, unscrew the fixing screw on the presser foot holder and replace the presser foot.
In addition, you need to adjust the stitching: change the position of the needle (the needle should be on the left), increase the stitch length and loosen the upper thread tension.
To assemble, put one layer of fabric under the presser foot and the other in the slot of the fixture.
The bottom layer of fabric will fit.
The disadvantage of this method is the impossibility of adjusting the density of the assembly and the need for skill, that is, the skill of working with the device. I didn’t succeed at all the first time, and I’m showing you the fifth and sixth attempt, which is far from ideal.
As far as I can tell from my humble experience, a jigger gather can be used for sewing on ruffles and lace, but for sleeve gathers, it is better to use a weak machine stitch or by hand.
Now we will consider them.
Assembly with a weak machine line.
To set up such a stitch, you need to loosen the upper thread as much as possible and increase the stitch length to the maximum.
Then we lay two lines without bartacks at a distance of 5 - 7 mm from the edge and 5 mm from each other. We tighten the lines for the lower unloosened thread to the desired length. We tie the ends, and distribute the assembly.
The ability to distribute the assembly and the speed of the operation makes this method very convenient for processing non-uniform assemblies.
The assembly performed manually is not inferior to the previous method, but it takes much longer to do it.
