Gathering with the Sewing Machine |
|
|
I use an easy way to gather fabric without the gathering thread breaking. Pull out both the bobbin and the top threads to a length longer than the piece to be gathered, and pull them to the right of the needle. Set the machine to a ziz-zag stitch. Put the fabric under the pressure foot and make 2 or 3 stitches. Pull the two threads to the front of the pressure foot and start sewing. The zig-zag stitch will cover the threads almost automatically. Pull the threads to gather as full as needed. If I have several widths of fabric to gather, I divide it into quarters or half and gather each section separately.

I had absolutely no idea how to do a machine gather. With these instructions, it was SO simple. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. My machine is a little old with no "gathering" setting. Worked like a charm :)
