Are your smocking stitches getting tense? Does your bishop or collar have that "turtleneck" look rather than lying smooth and flat? These problems will disappear when you use a Smocking Board. This outstanding invention will ease your smocking woes and allow you to produce a perfectly sized project with even tension throughout every time. The board itself is made from a specific density cork that has both vertical lines (in one-inch increments) and concentric circles (representing neck dimensions - infant through adult). This provides a stable surface on which you can accurately control the movement of the smocked piece while allowing you to form uniform tension of the smocking stitches. Small head, short , narrow shaft pins are provided. The Smocking Board is a "must have" for both beginners and experienced smockers.  Bag of 10 Product #1003718 Cost: $2.00 |
 The Smocking Board provides an accurate, symmetrical medium on which to size inserts and yoked garments. Simply pin the center of the piece to the center line of the board, then pull out the piece to match the size of your yoke pattern piece and secure with pins. You are ready to start smocking! |
  These are the most difficult to size evenly and to produce accurate tension of the stitches. The Smocking Board handles this challenge effectively by allowing you to "size" the piece in a complete circle with the exact neck size. The pleats of the smocked piece radiate out evenly making your stitch tension easy to keep even. |
 Because of the ability to pin work to a corked surface plus having vertical lines makes the Smocking Board effective for other uses: Product #1004570 Cost: $29.99 each Bag of 10 Product #1003718 Cost: $2.00 |
