Thank you! I haven't done this in so long, and your technique is much better than thte one I used to do, which will make my project much easier. Very much appreciated 😀
Thank you for the tutorial. What if I want to sew the gathered piece to another non-gathered piece? Example: a pajama bodice with a yoke connecting to a ruffled piece. Does it require a special stitch type?
Hi! To join gathered fabric to a flat fabric, you would first make sure the gathered fabric is the width/length you want and that the gathers are even. Then you'd pin this fabric to the flat fabric, right sides together, and sew them together between the 2 lines of running stitch. You can do this on a machine, or with a backstitch if you're hand sewing. Then you can remove one or both of the lines of running stitch :)
Hi! You may find this page helpful: www.craftsy.com/post/how-to-gather-fabric/ You basically just sew in between the 2 lines of stitching you did to make the gather, either using a sewing machine or by doing backstitch by hand :) Pin first though.
I wouldn't, no, as shirring is created with elastic rather than non-stretchy thread. I imagine shirring is probably possible by hand, but much much easier with a machine!
This answered so many questions, thank you, this should be very helpful for the sewing project I am starting tomorrow

You basically just sew in between the 2 lines of stitching you did to make the gather, either using a sewing machine or by doing backstitch by hand :) Pin first though.
would this work with tulle?
Could be tricky if the tulle isn't fine enough, you might need to make longer stitches. It should work though :D
Would you consider this shirring by hand?
I wouldn't, no, as shirring is created with elastic rather than non-stretchy thread. I imagine shirring is probably possible by hand, but much much easier with a machine!
You didn't mention the folded edge. Is that important?
No it's not important, that's just to make the edge neater. You may or may not do a gather on a hemmed edge, either works :)
Im so confuse, what do you mean by “tie a knot and in one end, and thread another end thru a needle”??
Tie a knot at one end of the piece of thread, and feed the other end of this piece of thread through the eye of a needle :) Hope that helps!
It's difficult to meet help
i’m so confused
