Don’t think you can’t add a ruffle to that perfect dress or pair of curtains for your kitchen.¬† All you need is some embroidery cotton or even dental floss.¬† Yes, I said dental floss.¬† It actually works very well because the material will slide easily.¬† In order to gather your material, set your machine on the zig-zag stitch.¬† You can even set the stitch on a little bit wider than the normal setting.¬† Lay your string about 1/2 inch from the edge.¬† Stitch over the string carefully making sure to keep the string in the center of the stitch.¬† Once you are have come to the end of your material hold one end of the string and gather the fabric.¬† Sew a straight stitch along the edge¬†and then¬†pull the string out.¬† Now you have a perfect gather!
