This is my favorite way to gather fabric, and I’m sure it will be yours too once you see how effective it is 😉

S E W I N G  &  P A T T E R N S on Instagram: "Sewing isn't hard when you know the sewing secrets passed down from generations of seamstresses, dressmakers and talented home sewists 😍

There are multiple ways to gather fabric, double rows of basting stitch, overlocking, single row of gathering and shirring, elastic, applying tension to your top thread.

Hands down the fastest way is applying attention to your top thread. It can act like a single row of gathering so it's not as sturdy or stable as double rows.
