I will try to take a pictures and download it but can't at this moment until the weekend. I have to prepare for thanksgiving. When do you need the information? When are you planning to give the apron to your granddaughter? |

I have found that hand gathering works best otherwise you have to mess too much with the machine's tension and then you have to put back....easier by hand.

you making a gathering? tie one corner tightly...hand baste across the seam allowance and pull the thread slowly, knot it and sew. If you need more information I could take a picture and post it here or... |
