Today I realized you can teach an old dog new tricks! I have been sewing for years, and I never realized changing the tension could be beneficial.
Thank you. I have always pulled the bobbin thread to form the gather, but the addition of the higher tension definitely helps.
I think it is a shame that home ec is not pushed in high school these days. The basic sewing and cooking skills are definitely helpful in later life.
I've been sewing for 10 years, and your tutorial was the first time that I have understood how to get the tension and the stitch length adjustments make the machine actually gather for you. It's not the first tutorial I've watched on how to make a ruffle, but it is the best one!
I dont sew but watched my mom who is a perfectionist. She would always stitch 3 rows of gathering stitches.
Lisa can’t tell you how much I loved this it brought back so much to me. I used to sew all the time when I was young, learned from my Mom and Home Ec class. I had my Bridal Shower sewing machine for 30 some years till it broke and couldn’t be fixed and have not sewed anything in years. After watching your video I told my husband I have to get a machine so I can sew again I miss it!! Sewing is a lost art, thank you for highlighting it!
This was the best tutorial I've watched on sewing ruffles! Thaaaaank you!!!
I’m saving up for a sewing machine. I used to sew w my grandmother. I’m rusty. These videos are awesome. Refresher courses. When I get my machine and tools, I’m going to have so much fun. In the meantime, I’m learning.
I probably haven't sewn a ruffle on a skirt since Home Ec class many years ago. This tutorial helped me a lot. My ruffle isn't perfect but it will do for my first try. Thank you for this tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Your one tip of adjusting the tension to create a ruffle as you sew has saved me hours of work and grief!! Thank you!!!
Very nice beginner sewing tutorials. I am older and learned to sew from my mother and believe it or not in high school. I'm so glad you are teaching a younger group the joys of sewing. It is a money saving and fun useful craft.
I’ve been sewing for 10 years, but have still watched every single one of your sewing series videos! We have similar non-rule-following sewing styles. ;)
Top stitch - ruffles lay flat- brilliant!!👍hate wacko, stringy ruffles
Great tip to hem the garment before beginning the ruffle!
Dear Lisa, thank you so much for being so generous. I think you are an example for many important things in life. *applause* ☺❗😙
I absolutely loved this video! I now feel empowered to sew ruffles on my apron and tablecloths!! Thank you Lisa!
Thank you, I loved to see this, but I do wish you'd showed us the finished product up close so we could see how the top stitching should look. I'm excited to try the high tension technique!
Ive always used a ruffler foot instead of this method then sew the ends together. Done it both ways and like the attachment results better. Ruffles can also be created by running a zigzag stitch over like crocheting cotton then pulling the cotton to adjust the ruffles.
Agree!! Great tip on the tension!!
Increasing the tension what a great tip! Thanks, Bye!
You always find such simple but beautiful and enticing fabric patterns!
Have a question in all my many years of sewing do you not mark your piece in quarters? If you mark that on each piece and match you wont find an area with more ruffle than another. Been sewing 50 yrs. I love your channel. Oh ruffles years ago not only sew ruffles on clothing but there was a time my curtain panels made them all f I'll r my home at the time when they all had ruffles. Learned how using sheets gives a wider width in fabric wears amazing. KEEP teaching your sewing hopefully more will embrace this skill. Now if fabric would back to decent prices it used to be cheaper to sew clothing than buy it. Sewed blue jeans,pjs,it all was my escape time
Love the flowers on the machine
Thank you so much. This series is awesome and I am learning so much. Still do not have a sewing machine but in the mean time I am becoming familiar with the different stitches and techniques that you offer. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! I’ve seen you make so many things with ruffles and this was so helpful
You always do a great job explaining things!
yay!!! Thank you thank you!!!! Im going to get my machine out this weekend and give this skill another try
Loved this tutorial.. you are very inspiring .. will be ordering my sewing machine soon, I used to have a heavy old metal one ..but still did the job .. Thanks for a great video.
Hoping you keep going on with this series!
Plan to continue to share!
Awesome
@@FarmhouseonBoone
This video is so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!
I’ve waited for this !!! Thank you.
Thank you so much! Love your channel
Great video, thanks so much, gives me the encouragement I need to attempt some ruffles, beginner sewer here. Thanks for the tutorials, they are an inspiration.
Wow, you explained this so well 👏🏻 🙌🏻
Glad you think so!
You make me want to sow again 👍🏻👵🏻😄.
Ruffles always intimidated me... but with this video, and that music... bah, peace of cake! LOL I want to say that finally I took the leap... yesterday i used my machine (inherited by my grandma who mastered the art of sewing) and my first project was.... taratataaaaan... fixing my 2yo's batman cape! 😂😂 But I did it... I explained to my husband how to thread the machine, fixed the piece and voila .... now my husband believes me that I can sew.... hahahaha NEXT... square pillow covers! can't wait!
Dang you’ve been uploading like crazy! Don’t know how you manage it all . You are my inspiration!
My girl who used to sew for my shop, switched over to video editor when we closed the pillow business. She is definitely the reason I'm getting out so many videos! I could never do this all on my own.
GOOD JOB, THANKS SO MUCH.
I so appreciate these beginner sewing tutorials! They are giving me the confidence to tackle more sewing projects already. I'm wondering if you could talk about sourcing materials for sewing (fabric store, online, thrift store). For my projects, for example, I'm always looking for natural fibers (and organic if possible) and noticed that it is difficult to find natural sewing materials in stores. Thank you. You are always and inspiration! ♡
Check out this pinterest board www.pinterest.com/farmhouseonboon/fabrics-for-the-farmhouse/ It may give you some good ideas 😊
Lisa that was very interesting making the ruffle .Will you be doing zips and buttonholes I would like that very much Who's music is that playing in the back ground.I love it thank you amcn
Hey Lisa. I don't top stitch a ruffle that way. The top stitch actually is not on the ruffle but on the skirt. After you serge the two pieces together, you fold it up toward the skirt not down toward the ruffle.
In any garment construction even just a dress skirt attached to a bodice, the seam is turned up toward the bodice and the top stitches are on the bodice.
The flat seem has to be top stitched to another flat surface. A ruffle isn't flat
I can see that applying to some items, such as a dress, a pillow case, etc. but some items you'd want to do the opposite such as for a dust ruffle.
I wondered if she misspoke but I didn’t watch her that closely to see if she had done what she said. I was just sewing my valance ruffle on and went to do the stitch in the ditch I’m like wait while ironing first the ruffle seam edges lay best toward the top so I caught myself thankfully
Can you do a video on how to undo bad stitching? I am a super beginner and wven doing straight lines is hard. I need to know how to undo stuff so I can resew a line. Thanks for your videos, you've got me excited to try it again! I really want to make your reversible apron first!
Would love a close up of the gathering stitch to compare.
l’ve always ran thread thru fabric manually to do a ruffle, so this was interesting.
Would still like to see surging up close.
Would like more on thread tension/stitch length .
Please consider some kind of written guide that we could follow that would
explain what tension and stitch length does when sewing -
I always found that confusing......
Great series!!!
I have more coming out about that in soon in my Sewing Q and A video :)
Thank you! this will make halloween costume making so much easier!~ you should see how I make ruffles! LOL~~~~
Serger? Make TONS of ruffles in SECONDS!!
Settings:
Left & Right needles: 7
Upper & Lower loopers: 3
Differential Feed: 2.5
Stitch length: 4
Use a test scrap of fabric of similar fabric content as your “good fabric” , increasing your fabric for the ruffle by at least 2”-3” as the gathering for your ruffles will “shrink” the yardage. Have fun, Ladies & Gents!!🥰🧵💖
This was SUPER helpful especially since I have the exact same sewing machine! What kind of presser foot do you have? I like the fact that you can see under it. Mine is the one that came with the machine.
Would love to have seen the finished top stitching (inside and out). Thanks :)
Also, gonna check out pinafore- so? Apron. I do not like things around my neck, so that will be the perfect apron for me! I have literally worm out my great-grandmother's pinafore apron- now I can make a new one without cutting hers up for a pattern I hope! Thanks!
Gina McGrew I will be sharing a diy apron on my channel, I don't care for strings around my neck either. 👍🏾(I prefer using a good old fashion ruffler attachments for ruffles, I think the older machines make gathering much better then the newer ones do) 😬I'd love to see your old apron! 👍🏾💐
www.farmhouseonboone.com/farmhouse-on-boone/diy-linen-pinafore-apron-for-women-free-pattern/ . This is one of my favs!!
Lisa, love ur vidoes, would love to know what music u play on ur videos.
Thanks.
I'm really enjoying this series. I used to sew, but watching this has gotten me wanting to get at it again. Also, do you crochet?
I haven't, I mostly just love to sew!
I love that fabric! Can you please tell me where I can find it?
Been doing gathering for year's and you have taught me something I always wondered how you know the length for gathering when you don't follow a pattern so thank you Lisa . Am I right in thinking if you want more gathering you increase the length of the fabric to be gathered ?
@Faith and Family Farmhouse thank you
1½ to 2 times the length is normal for gathers.
Could you do a piping tutorial?

You’ve made me want to pull out my Singer my sweet mother bought me in the 70’s for Christmas one year. I took sewing classes in High School (70’s) and I’ve made quilt’s and such but it’s been 20 plus years. I want to make a blue jean quilt made with old and thrifted jeans complete with a few pockets and patches that’s already on the jeans. Not sure just yet if I will put ruffles around it but we’ll see. Where did you get the individual tall thread holder that’s holding your thread. What is it called? I always see the large spools of thread at the thrift stores. Maybe I’ll start buying them. Thanks so much!
That is so cool that your sewing machine is from the 70's. Mine is too. It is metal and still works great. It is a kenmore that my parents bought me.
I bought it at a local fabric store. It is called a thread stand :)
Be careful of thrifted thread. It's often past it's shelf and is rotten aka breaks easily. Maybe test it by seeing how easy it is to break before buying.
Another great video! Can you tell me if there is any maintenance for a sewing machine. Don't you have to oil it? If so how do you know when. Thanks in advance.
I answer that in the Sewing Q and A video coming soon! :)
If you have a book that came with your machine it will tell you how often and where to oil your machine. My older singer needs to be oiled after about every 8 hours of sewing, but my new brother never needs to be oiled. hope this helps you.
Please add a lesson for doing zippers!🥰
I need a troubleshooting video. Why can't I pull the threads? It just ends up snapping. When I sew the thread it gets tangled on the bobbin thread... why does this keep happening? I really want to learn how to sew, but this is so frustrating!
I put my machine tension to 9 and length to the highest and I can’t seem to pull the threads to gather the ruffle more. Why is this happening?

Test on scrap of similar fiber content as your “good fabric”, increasing length of your yet-to-be ruffle by at least 2”-3” as gathering for ruffle making will “shrink” your yardage. Have fun, Ladies & Gents!!🧵😊💖👍🏼
How can I do this by hand
