How to Gather Fabric and Comparing Gathering Ratios

"Learn three different ways for how to gather fabric and where to use each sewing technique. Gathering can be a tricky skill to perfect, but it’s an important sewing technique to know. At the end of the post I compare different fabrics when they are gathered, different gathering ratios, and gathered fabric cut on different directions. In all my samples I sewed I either used a quilting cotton fabric or rayon. I used an all-purpose sewing machine needle and all-purpose sewing thread."
