Pulling fabric into miniature pleats either to compress it in size or for a decorative effect. To create a gather, one or two parallel lines of basting stitches are sewn on the right side of the fabric about ¼” apart. There is no locking at the start or end of the seam and long tails of thread are left for gathering. The bobbin threads are gently tugged, evenly gathering the fabric.
