What are the requirements for pre-gathering the fronts of uppers?

Document Actions
  1. No protruding edges of the lining, toe cap, etc., on the upper edge.
  2. All upper materials have to be joined to one material ply. It may be necessary to top-stitch the edge.
  3. If the upper material is not soft enough, it has to be prepared to make it suitable for gathering. This can be done by steaming, heat-activating, pre-shaping or by using a water-soluble leather softener.
  4. The PFAFF 3811 allows gathering without any creasing, and thus produces the best possible quality.
