Okay, this is the best method I've seen yet and exactly what I'm looking for. However, since I am actually an old man, will I absolutely HAVE to be called the Gather Queen? Can't I be a Gather Princess if I want? Seriously, though, THANKS!

[@Hallowxqueen]

This is the best gathering video I've seen here on youtube.

[@steph_lopez]

I agree

[@BrittanyBrinson]

Much agreed!

[@laurenwebb2695]

[@arieemetcalf8804]

[@aniraseraug2104]

Guuuuuuurl you have no idea how much time you will save me!! I have so little time left with an event coming and I have NO time to be doing this by hand! Thank you so much!!

[@KellsSmith1244]

[@allyb3510]

Stumbled on your video because I'm just learning how to do everything sewing related and I'm so ready to binge! 💜💜💜💜

[@triciap3803]

Best video, love the figure 8 thread wrapping around the pin to hold the threads and wish I had seen this last night. I am sewing my first little girl dress for my granddaughter and struggled with keeping them tightly in place while pinning it exactly where I needed it, this would have saved me a lot of frustration and I am thankful for the idea so now when I do my next one it won't be so hard. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your techniques with us all, it is so helpful and greatly appreciated. 😊

[@superditdit48]

okay! last time I did this was in 6th grade 50 years ago. I just could not remember anything. Thank you.
