Quilting and heirloom sewing, smocking go together. I have been sewing for years and never learned how to smock. I recently purchased a very nice smocking machine from Craigslist and at a loss on how to use it? Does anyone know where to find or how to locate how to begin learning to smock? Thanks.

Oh I love smocking....I have lots of plates and a smocking machine. Word of advice...never back up your fabric in the smocking machine. It breaks the needles. If it's not going through right it's easier to take out the threads than to find and replace the needles.

Wish you closer, I love to smock, and sure hate to see this art fading away!!!
