making an apron for my granddaughter----thought I remembered to gathr mateial....just sew straight across and then pull one of the threads---this would gather the material---well it isn't working.....did I goof? did I remember wrong???
Insight please.
Beverly Gill who thanks you ahead of ime---I know how busy everyone is.
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...
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.
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?
