2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Gathering Foot, Best $9.99 investment I've ever made. OMG if you dong have one you really must get one. I tried the Ruffler foot with no luck on figuring the darn thing out. It was just too complicated. So, I was determined to find something to help me get things done faster. I discovered the Gathering foot on a website for 19.99 but figure I'd check with our local sewing shop first. They had it for 9.99 Whoa Hoo so I snatched it up than went home to try it out. Love IT !! ♥ I tried just doing the gathering first turned out so professional looking. I also tested out the gathering foot with the flat fabric while sewing each separately, but together. I love the look, so even and professional looking and I would love to do my dresses that way. But I am sort of stuck on how I would sew my doggy dresses once the skirt or ruffle has already been attached to the one side of the material !! * Do any of you sewing experts know how to accomplish that little dilemma ? Any help would be greatly appreciated . . I also need to work with the width of my material versus the size of the space I have to work with per size of each dress. See how the gathering foot differs from the way I normally would do it. I may need to make some adjustment to the width on the skirt fabric.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Are you talking about attaching the bodice to the skirt? If so, I turn and press a hem on the both parts of the bodice and sew it together along the top and arms, then attach the piece to be gathered. Then I turn the whole thing right side out and top stitch.

No, I was wondering how I would sew a dress if I first attach the skirt/ruffle to one side of the bodice using the gathering foot like in the video below? How To Use A Ruffler Foot - YouTube
