[. . . ] Sew on the elastic band using the elastic stitch, using your hands to stretch out the band in front of and behind the sewing foot. The more you stretch it, the more it will gather. The smocking stitch can be used in many different ways and is decorative, e. 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 achieved by using an elastic thread on the bobbin. 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 touches the edge of the fabric, so that a zigzag stitch is sewn with the left deflection. TIP To determine the correct stitch length, we recommend you sew a test buttonhole on a scrap of fabric. Set the foot and needle to their highest position. On the fabric, mark where you want to sew the buttonhole and its length. Use the programme selection dial (6) to select programme S to sew the left bar. Pass the upper thread through the opening on the buttonhole sewing foot and pull both the upper and lower thread to the lefthand side. Lower the foot and sew slowly until you have achieved the desired length for the side bar. Raise the needle to its highest position and change to programme S for the bottom bar. Raise the needle to its highest position again and change to programme U for the right-hand bar. Now sew the right-hand bar with exactly the same length as the left-hand side. Raise the needle to its highest position and select programme T again for the top bar. Then sew a few stitches for the top bar, like you did for the bottom bar. At the end, you are advised to set the stitch length to "0" and sew a few more stitches so that the threads are better connected and the buttonhole does not fray so quickly. Then use the knife provided to cut the fabric between the stitches. [. . . ] Only small, internal plastic hooks now hold the rear cover, as illustrated. Carefully push the upper edge of the rear cover (where the hooks are located) down with one hand. The places that need to be oiled are marked with an arrow on the illustration. You should clean these areas before oiling them. [. . . ]
