On a Janome, try the following: Differential feed: 2.5 Stitch length: 4 Left needle: 7 Right needle: 7 Upper looper: 3 Lower looper: 3 Happy 😊 Sewing!

GUUURRLLL! THIS IS THE SEWING HACK OF THE DECADE!! Take it from me, a costume designer of (ahem) many years... I've had carpel tunnel syndrome and trigger finger in both hands at once. Loosening the ruffle is SO much less work than gathering it by hand. This method you have shared is pure sewing magic! 😂 Thank you so so very much! *BUT* my machine was set up with 3 threads, so I tried like that just to see what would happen and it WORKS! I set the one needle to 9, and used all your other settings. Got me a lovely, curled up ruffle on the FIRST TRY!!😭😭😭 I hacked your hack lol! 🤣 I'm blown away, forever grateful and super inspired! Thanks a Million! 🥰✨🥰✨🥰

I’ve had a serger for about 8 years now, have used it regularly and have known for some time that you could gather with it. What I didn’t know was that having gathered you could then adjust the amount of gathering. I’d never used my serger for gathering because I thought it was a matter of trial and error to get the correct length for the project. I feel quite stupid not realising this but thank you so much for pointing this out. I have now gathered a summer skirt with my serger and am amazed how fast and easy it is.

Thank you so much for this very informative video! I was one of those who was intimated at first and let my serger sit for a couple of months in the box! 😱 lol But once I learned to thread it, set the tension, knew it would cut the fabric & do a basic stitch, I never bothered to find out about all the other buttons or bells and whistles. Well, that worked for a good while until it needed to be put in the shop! The serger was fixed but unbeknownst to me the settings where changed, lol. Now (thanks to your video), I'm forced to learn all the "extras" I should've learned but I was too scared to. And it actually feels pretty good!

Love your tutorials because you explain in a concise manner that is easily understood. I've grown so much as a seamstress with your and all the wonderful ladies at CKC.

I am so happy I have found your tutorial. I have the same serger, thing is I couldn't leave it near 9 cuz one of the needle threads kept breaking, left it close to 8. I am gonna make so many ruffles from now on 😂😂😂. Great job, Thank you

Oh my goodness! Thank you. I have been trying to master this forever and all I was finding were videos with ruffle feet. I wanted to learn with a plain ole foot. I am so appreciative o

A little advice: always set your serger blade on the lowest position if you are not going to use it. This is to prevent fabric getting snagged and stuck between both blades.

Thank you, I gathered on my serger for the very first time and I love it. Finish things much faster

Thank you! I was having trouble gathering, so I tried your settings, and it worked perfectly!

It's so easy!! I love my new dog dress sewing pattern from you. Thank you! !

Thank you for this! I absolutely LOVE your patterns. The ruffle butt rompers is a staple in my sewing space. Haha

Thank you for sharing I love this I’ve never gathered on my serger so thank you so much 😊

Thank you for sharing this will help to save me a great amount of time.

The girls are adorable!

Game changer! Thank you!

Thank you sooo much for this video I've been looking for a simple way to gather and this was so helpful! Definitely going to subscribe 👍🏻

Thank you! This is beyond helpful!!

Gamechanger! Thank you!

This seems super simple. Thanks!

This helped so much! Thank you!

Thank you. Your explanation is the best 👌

I have the same machine as you , have you oiled your machine good cause yours sounds and operates like mine did before I oiled it twice. just wondering

This sure is helpful. Thanks for the tip.

SO helpful! Thank you very much!!

Thank you for this 👍

Can you do two layers gathered? For tiered skirts etc

This is such a good video. My first thread keeps breaking and I changed the needle. I just can’t figure out why when I move to the tension higher than 4 it breaks. Any tips?😢

Hi there! I arrived here actually through your review on amazon for the Juki MO654DE so I'm surprised to see you sewing with a Brother serger here! Trying to decide between the two you see... I sew ocassionally and want it to make a handful of outfits for myself a year. Do you ever see a need for me to upgrade to the Juki? Is the JUKI that much more quiet than the Brother?

Just purchased my Serger. How do you stop the knife from cutting?

Thank you, your tutorial helped me a lot, I watched some others but they didn't really help at all. I also looked in my manual and it wasn't much help either.

I have been gathering on my serger for about a year. Usually 8,8,4,4. For some reason lately, anytime I put the needle tension about 6 and 5, the thread breaks. Any suggestions? Side settings 2, 4, 5.

oh wow thank you I'm sew giving this a try!

So easy. Thank you.

Thank you!!

What kind of thread do you use? Elastic?

Do I need to change the presser foot?

Will it gather the same with 2 peices of fabric??

Thankyou❤️

Awesome need to try

and thanks :)

Can this be done with two layers?

My left needle thread keeps breaking.

Will this work with knit fabrics?
