Following on from our previous tutorial on 'How to Gather' I wanted to share with you 'How to Attach Gathering'. These two videos compliment one another. So if you haven't seen our tutorial on 'How to Gather', click the link below to watch it in full. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEKIOhMZM0 In this tutorial I demonstrate step-by-step how to... 1. Pin the gathering onto a flat piece of fabric. (This could be a waistband, a sleeve head, an ankle or sleeve cuff, under bust gathers or even featured gathers) 2. Check your sewing machine. Making sure your thread tension is correct and that your stitch length is at a normal length. (use a scrap piece of fabric, the same as your main garment to test your machine) 3. Sew the gathering down, using your sewing machine with a straight stitch. Face the gathering up and your flat piece of fabric on the bottom. This allow you to even out the gathers as you sew. 4. Remove the hand gathering using thread cutters. Make sure you're delicate as you do not want to remove your straight stitch. 5. Cut all loose thread 6. You're Finished!
