Blessed are those that see this video. I'm making a twin bed skirt with total of 310 inches to gather. I have gathered the first panel using these instructions. Sooo easy. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Wonderful!
🙏🏾🤩
This is the 2nd video of this technique I've watched today and I'm blown away. I'm 68 and learned to sew from my home ec teacher mother 60 YEARS AGO and never saw this technique! I've recently started sewing again and a lot of the patterns I'm buying have gathered skirts, some in tiers (insert frustrated swearing here!). Anyway, Thank you-- this will make things so much easier!
❤. So love how you teach…. I’m a slow learner but when you teach I’m soo happy .
I was just sitting down to gather the skirt of a dress for my granddaughter and dreading the gathering part of it! I thought I'd check on RUclips to see if there was an easier way and I found your method! It is GENIUS!! Thank you! I have been sewing for 40 years and avoid anything with gathers like the plague! No longer!!
OMG, That's the best thing I've heard all day. I'm so happy that gathers are no longer causing nightmares. Happy Sewing! Send me pics of your happy granddaughter with her gathered dress to sewanastasia@gmail.com I'd love to see them!
That’s exactly what I’m sewing and dreading too! 😊 Now I’m looking forward to sewing.
Omg I feel like I have wasted so much time doing it the crap way. 40 years of sewing and I did not know this.
caroline smith omg. Right!? I learned this & was like wtf !?!?!?!?
Never did gathering before as I’m beginner but this work for me in first attempt! Thank you so much for great tip !!! ❤️👍
Awesome 👏🏻
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was sewing a thicker garment and could not find a way to gather the fabric without the strings breaking. After trying everything and seam ripping a billion times. I came across your video, I tried your method and it worked like a charm!!! This will be my forever go to for gathering! Thank you so much! 😊🤗♥️
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching :)
This video's 2 years old, but damn it helped me with my lil pirate shirt
Awesome 👏 sewing is timeless 💕
The skirt that I was making had me almost in tears with the double baste gathering, and this video was an absolute sanity saver 🙌🙌
Thank you for watching :)
I watched this video about 3 days ago. I was having a very hard time with gathering fabric, so I started looking to see what was out there. I am a beginner when it comes to the sewing machine, but not so beginner that I'm wet behind the ears. I don't have any way to be trained, so RUclips is my best friend. I have made some towel toppers this weekend and needed to gather the fabric. Your method was super easy because my basting threads never broke. I just wanted you to know how great of advice you gave with excellent energy and delivery in your video! Thank you!
Alycia Lyons awww thank you soooo much! I’m very happy to hear this worked out well for you. I’d love to see your projects! Tag me on social media or DM me :) Happy Sewing 🎀
Wow I am blown away.....!! This tip is so valuable, thank you!! (Been sewing over 35 years and have never seen this before!) What I LOVE about sewing is the continued learning :~)
Stacy right!!!! There is sooooo much to know when it comes to sewing.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!!! I just gathered over 80inches using this method with no hassle at all💃
Awesome 👏 very welcome 🤗 Happy sewing 🧵 🎀
THANK YOU!!! I am 15 yrs old and I'm making costumes for me and my friends for my schools trivia night since its also a costume competition! this helped me so much!!!!! thank you!!!!
Super fun & you are so welcome 🤗
THANK YOU!!!! I have always used the double baste stitch method. Also tried various methods on sergers and different types of feet, but this is amazing. Cannot wait to try this.
amber dawn it’s the best!!!
Wow!
I need some gathering done and was dreading it. I even watched a RUclips video showing this method, for some reason, I didn't get it.
Yours was the next video listed.
Thank you so very much!! I tried it on some test fabric and it came out beautiful.
I'll update when I'm done with the actual gathering.
Thank you!!
Awesome 👏 yes tag me in your project 💗
I'll use this to make my summer dress with a ruffle neck:)
Awesome! Send pics! Thank you for watching.
thank you!!!!!
you made a terrible task FUN!
WOOHOO 🥳

Pren Posada it’s wayyyyy easier!!!! Gathering is no longer scary
OMG! this was so awesome! I just tried it for the first time
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for giving it a try.
Are you an angel? Did you hear my prayers to the sewing gods to 'please help me with these super annoying gathers?' lmao THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Now I need to see if my 1913 singer can do a zigzag...😅
Very welcome! Happy sewing!

OMG! Just came across this awesome channel and have immediately subscribed. I have been sewing for over 40 years but still love learning new techniques.
Thank you for watching & subscribing 🥰
Thank you pointing me in the direction of this video!
Totally!
This video was absolutely brilliant and this method worked great on lightweight linen. Thank you!
Fabulous 👏 Happy gathering 💕
I have just come across this and I'm so pleased I have. I have struggled with my gather's I have had ago and so much better ❤️ xx
Woohooo . Gathering is awesome 👏 happy sewing.
@@SewAnastasia deffinatly I sew dolls clothes most of the time but I have a habit trapping my gather's you learn something new everyday ❤️ much love from the UK ❤️ xxx
Thank you! thank you! thank you! I'm making a tiered dress, with gathering. I've done one part with the two basting lines and was dreading the next tier. Sooo, I thought check out RUclips and voila! It's works, so easy and I'm now looking forward to the next tier ❤️❤️
Wonderful! Happy to help. Send pics! I wanna see your dress 🎀
I can’t wait to try this technique. I really dislike gathering with the double lines of basting technique. This looks like a game changer!
Oh it is a game changer for sure!!!! Happy sewing.
This is genius! So glad you shared 🙂
Sometimes putting elastic thread in the bobbin gathers the material but this time it didn’t work for this material so here I am
Can’t wait to try this with some ruching on a leggings panel!!
Awesome 👏🏻 send me pics & I’ll post the project !
Yes , perfect 😊
Thank you. Happy sewing.
Your amazing just amazing new sub here i just did my first gathered stitch
Woohoo 🎉 gathering gathering gathering 💓 Thank you for subscribing
Doing my first sewing project and was dreading the gathering. This method worked wonders! Thanks a bunch!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching. Your first sewing project?! How exciting!
I tried it right after watching your tutorial. As a beginner, it was so easy to do it! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Your so welcome! What did you make ?!
Tried it on a scrap first. But planning to make a dress soon. 🤞
Love ur contents. Very helpful. New follower here from Philippines. ❤️
I just fell so deeply in love… liked, followed, subscribed
Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the content and decided to show your love by liking, following, and subscribing. It means a lot to me!
Great idea! Thanks.
Very welcome.
thank you so much for making this video! it's very straightforward and easy to see, im making a sundress for my niece and i was super nervous to actually do it because gathering seemed so hard! hopefully i'll be able to do this,, thank you so much for sharing this technique, a newbie like me really appreciates it
Happy sewing!
Fantastic technique. It worked perfectly. Thank you.
Oh good! Yes I just love this technique! 🎀🎀🎀 DM me photos of your project & I will share it with everyone! 💕💕💕
I'm about to finish my first skirt. So by "double the length of your project" you really mean that? that thread would be super long for the ungathered skirt! I'm excited to try this. Thank you for sharing your tips with the online sewing viewers!
You can make the thread just as long as your project or shorter. Just make sure to hold it so it gathers while you sew so u don’t run out of thread to sew over. I might have gotten carried away saying double the length as your project lol 😂 & omg send me pics of your first skirt!!!!! I wanna see!!!!! Dm me on insta!
Hi it works even better if you use flat dental floss.
Oh wow!! Interesting!!!
This is. Incredible. BLESS YOU
Thank you 😊
You are amazing 🙏🏽
awwww :) 🎀🥰 thank you
OMG thank you so much, you saved me much hair pulling.
Awww lol good! Happy sewing
such a great method! I'm goingto try it out the next time I need to gather something.
🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀
Tasneem Saylawala woohoo!
Thank you I’m a beginner this was so easy !!
Woohoo 🙌🏻 happy sewing !
That is very clever...thanks!
I'll have to watch this a few more time before I attempted to use on my circle skirt🙈😳
This technique is amazing once you get it. Try on a scrap fabric first. Happy sewing and thank you for watching.
I never comment but thank you!!! im so excited to do ruffles now lol
Awesome 👏
I've always hated gathering but this was so easy thank you so much
You're so welcome!
So helpful and clearly explained - many thanks from a beginner
Thank you for this video! Giving this a try today, wish me luck!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
You can do it!!!! 🎀🙌🏻
Brilliant!!
😊💕🥰💋
Thanks for this technique! My thread kept breaking with the two parallel stitches method but this works great. One question, should I do this on the right or wrong side of the fabric if I plan to attach it to another piece?
It doesn’t matter what side of the fabric. Just keep it within your seam allowance. Thanks for watching!
@@SewAnastasia Oh okay cool thank you!
Omg I'm so glad to encounter this video it made it looks so easy! Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Aubrey Poon your very welcome!
Do you secure the gather by tying the two long ends together? I saw the ending was backstitched but what do you do with the beginning
My 99 year and 8 month old treadle machine has no idea what you just said! 😂 Great idea though!
lol. Basting stitches for you. Happy sewing.
OMG! this is super easy, hope my machine will do this
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Totally! Happy sewing !
I love this technique... thanks 🤗
Sooo good right! I use this technique all the time!
Thank you for this hack!!
I've been trying different ways to sew the ruffles down, but all have led to loads of empty holes and unruffled fabric what do I do? T_T
This method is amazing!!!!!
Thank you 🙌
Very welcome. Happy sewing !
Fantastic! Years of painful gather stitching just now made so simple! I too have a question of how to pull through double the length of your fabric as Im making bed skirts with a total of 25 meters - each 5 meter pieces - so I need to pull through 10 meters? That's going to make a mess and get tangled - any suggestions? Not sure my robin will take 10 meters? Also, I have selected to use ultra thick thread for this project to over avoid snapping on gathering!.
U can just pull as much thread as you need it gathered. So if your final project is 2 meters I would pull a little bit more then 2 meters
Only helpful video!! Thank you
I'm so glad you found it useful!
This was interesting. I’d have to try this during this weekend
Bella Jae did you try it? How did it go?
Sew Anastasia yes I finally did just about maybe 20 minutes ago. And it works indeed. Thank you. I’ll be mentioning you and another youtuber who did the same thing maybe almost 8 yrs ago too on my channel. I’ll provide my viewers with a direct link to your video.
such a great tip! Sew Anastasia is the awesome-est!
big c awe thanks 😊😊😊😊😊😊
So easy! Thank you!
Totally! Send me pics of your projects @sewanastasia on instagram and I'll post them on my stories! I love seeing everyone's creativity and sewing adventures!
Awesome tip! I can't wait to try this!!! 🥰
Happy sewing !
That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing
Mari Mar your very welcome 🎀💕
PLEASE EXCUSE MY FRENCH....THIS IS THEE BEST FUCKN VIDEO ABT GATHERING EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! this has solved sooooo many problems and questions I had!!!!! I will be using this method for everything gather!!!!!! a million hugs/kisses to you!
Lol awesome 👏🏻 I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Happy sewing !
Do you have to sew back over the gathers when you're done adjusting them? Wonder technique and SUPER helpful; I tried the basting stitch method 3 times and my threads kept snapping 😭 I've had no issues with this method so far, I'm just unsure how to finish it so the gathers don't come out! 😁
You have to sew them down. You should be attaching them to another piece of fabric? What are you making ?
Great technique. Wondering if it will work on heavier fabric...like demin or fleece?
It will. You might need to use a thicker thread for a denim but this technique is great for all fabric types.
I can't get the bobbin thread to come up through though when I hand know the first stitch? I have a brother c6000i
Make sure you are turning your hand towards you. If you turn it away from u it won’t grab it. Also make sure you are holding your needle thread tight with your hand
I hope that helps!! Happy sewing & thank you for watching :)
do you have any suggestions for making this easier for a lot of fabric? around 2-4 metres? or should I try a different method
I would still use this method. You could restart the process every few meters but I would do it all at once. Just pull as much thread as you want the finished project to be
@@SewAnastasia thank you!! I'll let you know how it goes ☺️☺️
I’m super new to this but I did it but don’t know how to end it or keep it from moving. Could you help?
To keep it from moving? When putting it on another piece of fabric just pin it. How to end it? What do you mean exactly?
Great tip wow!
Thank you! Happy sewing !
How do I finish it so the gathers don't come undone?
You have to sew it to something else or go over it with a tight straight stitch to make a ruffle.
What do you do with your strings after you gather? I can’t just hold them the whole time if it’s a huge piece of fabric.. also it tried to smoosh out as soon as I try to straight stitch
You should try pinning it to another piece of fabric or a piece of seam tape if it’s a stand alone ruffle.
@@SewAnastasia omg thank you for responding! You are so sweet!!!
@@kellyanntheoneandonly7377 you are very welcome 🤗

Monny SILVA 😊😊😊
Just wow 🤩👌👌✨✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you 😊. Happy sewing !
Gathering with an overlocker is easier
Oh yes I love gathering with my serger.
Do you hem the fabric before you make the gathering stitches not sure
No need to hem the fabric before the gathering stitches in most cases. If it's something small like a ruffle I might gather it first, but otherwise I'll probably do it at the end. Happy Sewing!
I don't have a sewing machine but I'm trying to gather by hand... Any advice
I would use a long running stitch ,
Thank you for sharing this is Super Dope 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m new to your channel
HairBy Shine your welcome! Of course!
Sew Anastasia ❤️
Okay so I'm making a skirt and the book I got the pattern from says that you should gather in sections to keep the thread from snapping. Since we have these strong threads, do I still need to do that?
And do you still have to baste stitch over this to keep it in place?
Nope! Just use this zigzag method & you should be good. What kind of fabric are you gathering?
@@SewAnastasia it's 100% cotton.
So I would just sew my waistband on?
@@Lyndasmelody you should have no problem running this zig zag gathering stitch & gathering it all up with no breaking. That’s the awesomeness of this stitch! It’s wayyyy better then basting stitches .... they always break!
Whaaaat! Thanks❤😘
cmkristi of course!!! I’m here to make everyone’s sewing adventure fun & easy!
Omggggg! Thank you so much@
Totally! Happy sewing !
I've tried your technique a few times and my thread unravels each time I try to adjust the gather even though I back stitched. What am I doing wrong?
Hummmmmm are you stitching over 2 threads? The zig zag stitch is coming undone?
@@SewAnastasia Yes, I am. Could it be a tension problem? I set the tension to 8, stitch number 4 (zig zag), length to 3.5 , and stitch width to 4.
🙌🏾
:)
Where was this video 5 years ago when I made my LGBT+ Pride Skirt: a four-tiered, heavy satin and tulle ruffle monstrosity, with the bottom most layer ELEVEN yards long pre-gather? I am so glad to see this method because friends have wanted to make them one but I always laughed in their face. I actually WANT to make those skirts now!

Bailey Lauren thank you for entering!
See that gathering thread would be 64 feet😭
Try the ruffler or the gathering foot if you have that much fabric. Happy sewing!
This does NOT work if you are gathering more than a yard of fabric... you’re wasting your time... your instructed to pull twice the amount of the length of the fabric... so I have to pull 6 yards of thread from both the spool AND the bobbin... How? It keeps snapping and tangling... don’t waste your time like I just did...
Pull the amount you need for your complete project yardage then. That will work too.
And, if you don't have a machine with the zig zag stitch.....
Then you should use the basting method . You can watch a video on that here How To Use a Basting Stitch and how to Gather with a basting stitch | Sew Anastasia
