WOW thank you in all the tutorials I have watched about the gathering foot. not once has anyone said anything about tension and stitch length, no wonder I couldn't get mine to work!
I love the way you explain which tension and exactly how to put your material so that it comes out perfect and that those people that are just beginning know exactly what the tension is how much to put it on and so on I wish everybody that is on UA-cam with sewing explained it as well as you do thank you for that 🥰👏🏼👌🏼😊
The BEST tutorial for gathering tulle! Thanks 😊
HI and thank you for sharing on how to use the "gather foot", I stressing in the tension and length. but you mentioned what i really needed to hear. so now I am able to use and sew on my project, thank you again!!
Great tip about leaving the long tail so you can adjust the gathers need be!!!! Thank you!!
Im so looking forward to buying a gathered foot. I've been trying to make a costume that involves a big puff skirt of tulle and I think you've taught me something very useful. Thanks for making this video.
Perfect thank you for sharing. Didn't think about tension to make it tighter. Looks great can't wait to try it.
Hi Thank you! Let me know how it turns out
Thank you so much for this video. I think you just changed my life haha. I have a almost two year old and I know this is going to be helpful for a ton of my projects. Going to check and see if I have a gathered foot attachment 👀!!

What type of tulle you use
Love this video..I want to make a table skirt with one piece of tulle single ply. Can I do that this way?
I'm a beginner, I usually sold by hand... What type of machine are you using? Me being a beginner would you recommend a different type of sewing machine... And would your method work with the less expensive sewing machine? thank you in advance for the reply😊
Sewing machine, 5 minutes but If you have a serger:
Use 4 spools of serger thread.
Set up:
Right and left needles: 8
Upper and lower loopers: 3
Differential feed: 2.5
Stitch length: 4
Makes TONS of gathers in SECONDS!!!!!🧵🧵🧵🧵
Please show the stitch u r using. Coz our machines ll b diff.
nice video..thankyou for shARing this..
Distinctive Fabric you are welcome!
amazing!!! never done gathering before with a sewing machine. i just might!!! :)))
Glad this helps!
i'll watch this again when i do some gathering!!! :)
Let me know how it goes!
Got it
Thank you! You explain VERY well. Do I see a seam in the back of the tulle to close it up?
Thanks!! I leave the tulle free in the back. Sometimes I sew it up, but always leave it free around the zipper. I hope that answers your questions.
Great job
great video
Thank you so much!
My tulle keeps getting caught in the area where the bobbin is. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong
can we use this foot on normal ordinary USHA machine ???
How does your tulle not get sucked down into the feed-dogs? I’m able to do a straight stitch with the tulle I have without that happening but the gathering foot just jams up on me 😫
THANK YOU

hello there, your videos are all great and helpful. May I know how could I possibly reach you further for some inquiries? Thank you!
HI There! You can email me at fashionbehindtheseams@gmail.com

do you have a video on how to add an elastic to that already ruffle tulle?
+NathalyCalle Hi There! I don't have a video on that one, but I can explain how to do it. You can also ask sewing questions on my Facebook page which is very interactive. facebook.com/fashionbehindtheseams
Let me know if you need help
thank you! yes pla let me know the link to where you explain this step.... also, i notice you did it up until the knee... but what about i wanted long? do they sell tulle longer than this one?
+NathalyCalle I don't have that documented but here is what you can do. Measure you waist. Then buy elastic . I recommend the wide elastic. You can to make sure the elastic is cut smaller than the waist, because it will be stretching. If your waist is example 28, you can cut your elastic 27 or 26 depending on your comfort . But here is the part that is important. To make sure you can get the skirt over your hips, measure the largest part of your hips (example let's say that is 34 inches) . What you will need to do is gather the tulle 1st and make sure it is 34 inches after it's been gathered and then you will sew it to the elastic (which is only 28 inches ) while sewing, you will stretch out the elastic match the tulle... And once it is sewn, the tulle will get gathered even more. Make sense?
As for the length, you can buy tulle that is wider (I think you can find width of 108) you can still gather that on fold and get a maxi length)
+Fashion Behind The Seams perfect!
+JHONATTANFF thanks!
awesome :O
Nice
Hi , I would like to know how you keep the tulle from wrinkling? Or how do you remove the static/wrinkles?
HI! I've actually never had issues with wrinkling or static with tulle. It might be the type of tulle you are using? I usually get mine from Joanns or Hobby Lobby and to store it, I either keep it on the bolt or fold it up and hang it up using a skirt/ pants hanger. Hope that helps!
very small pattern and at the end widht is wide
if u wanna add it to end of dress how can i do that like a prom
HI! I am not sure what you mean but if you send me a picture I can try to help. Thanks!
I would gather it, the top stitch it to the fabric that you are going to use for the dress, that is what I do for my skirts
im hoping you'll be able to reply. i want to make this a tutu with the gathered tulle for my toddler (1 year and a half) for her halloween costume. her waist is 16 inches around, and i need the skirt to be short, so... about 7 or 8 inches long. any idea how much tulle i will need to get for her? im going to be doing the trick you did at the end, by doubling it to make 4 layers. i just dont want to end up buying less (or more) tulle than i actually need.
HI There! When is comes to gathering tulle, there are some variables to take into account.. The yardage you need depends on the tightness or the "poofyness of the gathers".. which is why I usually have some leftover tulle.. I understand not wanting to waste fabric or buying more than you need..
Here is what I recommend in your case. If you have any tulle laying around, take a ten-inch strip of tulle and then using this technique , gather all of it. Then measure it flat and see how much it shrunk to. Example. if your 10 inches shrunk to 4 inches after being gathered, take note of that. Also take not of what tension you used on your machine.
Now.. lets say that 10 inches shrunk to 4 inches. This means that you make a 16-inch waist, you will need 4 times 4 = 16 inches after it has been gathered. That means that before its been gathered, you need 10 times 4 = 40 inches.
Now leave a couple extra inches to be on the safer side and also for seam allowance.. so instead of 40, perhaps start with 42.
Next thing, remember that you need only 8 inches tall skirt, which means you can cut tulle into 16-inch strips , then fold length wise, then gather. Does that make sense? This requires some math and some thinking..
if you want to keep it simple.. you could always guess.. Just buy somewhere between 2 and 3 yards and that should be enough.. Tulle is around $ 2 yard and you can use coupons..
To give you an idea.. for the skirt I made for myself.. here I used 6 yards and still had some leftover.. I dont see you needing more than 2-3 yards for a toddler..

This is a dress I made for my toddler when she was 2. I cant imagine having used more than 2 yards here

Lastly.. It's a lot easier for me to help with picture examples over at my FB page since I cannot attach picture here. So hop on over to my FB page and you can ask sewing questions there as well :)

+Fashion Behind The Seams thank you so much! also, i suppose it makes things much harder considering i will have to use a basting stitch on my machone, but then i have to gather it by hand, since i neither have a ruffling foot nor gathering foot, and my machine is about 50 years old (vintage machine) im not sure if they make those feet to fit my machine..
To gather, you could always up the tension and use just the basting stitch to see if that gather.. but if not, there are 2 more tricks
1. Do pleating instead. Feed the tulle under the presser foot to secure it.. then create tiny pleats as you feed the fabric through the machine. Since tulle is so fluffy, it will look like gathers.. just make sure pleats are tiny and not big.
2. Or you could take a needle with a large hole. and use either dental floss or regular thread and make a very large basting stitch by hand. This will make gathering easy. Just be careful not to lose the string , which can be tricky.. but those are alternatives :) Love to see you make for your daughter. I just made mine a minnie mouse dress and she loves it.
Oh my gosh thank you so much again! I honestly was not expecting such a quick reply (or even one at all!) youve been so helpful. Ive liked your facebook page, and hopefully will be able to send a picture to you when i finally get the whole putfit together! Do you have an instagram? I could also tag your instagram page in the final product as well!
Katherine Sillaman Yes I am on IG. My handle is fashionbehindtheseams.. you can get to all my social media through my blog which is www.FashionBehindTheSeams.com . I have some tutorials there as well..
I am happy to help. I am normally not that quick at responding.. but mondays are my work days in my studio as I have a helped to watch my kid :)
Look forward to seeing you sew!
Will this work with chiffon or organza too?
I think it will, but honestly I have never tried it, so I am curious to see your results! Let me know how it goes. Chiffon can be tricky to work with, but I found it pleasantly surprising that organza was quite easy to sew with. Let me know if you try it!
@@FashionBehindTheSeams ok thanks! I'll try it on some scrap fabric I have laying around
@@WhimsyLuna1up Will you let me know how it goes? I have some scrap chiffon laying around. If I can find it, I will give it a try. Thank you!!!
how can i gather without gathering foot... plz show how gather using normal foot..
I believe you do it the same way but you pull the thread before you start and don't back stitch... same at the end when you get it how you want you tie the ends = saw this somewhere... hope that helps
