Let’s face it, gathering fabric can be a pain. Especially if the fabric you are using is a heavier weight than say, quilting cotton, or if you have yards and yards of it to be gathered for a home dec project.
Even on small projects, I have found that young sewists struggle to gather without breaking threads halfway through. This common sewing frustration led to the creation of this video. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy sewing!

Would you continue this lesson by showing the gathered fabric EVENLY unto a garment.
I sometimes have problems with gathers bunching up or laying kitty-rumpus (avery tech term…) to the vertical or unevenly…my bane sometimes.
Thanks,

Good idea – I will!
Thank you so much for the tips. This will certainly help me 🙂
Thanks Latina! I am so glad you found it helpful!
I’m just getting back into sewing (there’s so much I’ve forgotten over the years)…this was really helpful. Thanks so much.
That is just music to my ears, Judi! Glad I could help, and definitely keep sewing! It’s just like riding a bike-it will all come back to you. Carry on!
Loved these tips! Thx for sharing!
