Tutorial: 2 easy ways to gather fabric on your serger

Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings shows two easy ways you can gather fabric on your serger, and you don’t even need a fancy foot or special attachment to do it. Her first method just about blew my mind. It’s just one simple step; you don’t even need to change your settings. Wow! It’s better suited for gathering shorter pieces of fabric. For longer pieces, use her second method. You’ll need to change your settings, but that’s just a matter of turning a couple of knobs. (Write your original settings down first so you can change back to them easily.)
