Classical and Romantic Tutu Tutorial - Part 1

[UtahGmaw99]

Have you ever used a gathering foot? It also does pleats. If so how did it work?

My granddaughter wants a tutu for her dance class. Thanks.

@UtahGmaw99 I have used one, but I tend to like to do things the old fashioned way and have complete control over the amount of gather, etc. But I found this video that shows you how to use a ruffler foot (a mesmerizing contraption) to make gathers or pleats (pleats would just be on a lower setting):

Or, if you want to use just a normal gathering foot, this video is rather excellent:

Good luck!!
