Yes there are. And thats the best part about making them, you do it yourself, you can pick out your own fabric, and you can get them at a good price!!! Cant beat that!!!

Do you change the length of your stitches when you stitch the gathering rows? Make the stitch as long as you can and that should help. Sometimes, the type of fabric is harder to pull the thread without breaking it. Go slow and easy on it. Hope this helps!

Yes, I change it all the way up to 5. Another lady recommended chaning the tension of those rows when I sew them. So next time thats what I am going to try.
