Guidelines for making gathers:
1. When a long piece of gathering is to be done, divide the length into sections.
2. Leave gathering threads until the final stitching is completed.
Gathering by hand:
- mark the stitching line; use long double thread.
- sew a line of running stitches on the right side along the marked stitching line.
- sew a second line of running stitches 6 mm away in the turning.
- leave thread free at each end for the gathering.
- Ease or draw up the work to the correct length.
- fasten off with several firm stitches at each end.
Gathering by machine:
- mark the stitching lines
- set the machine tension for gathering. Use the longest stitch.
- machine two rows evenly spaced stitching:
• on the stitching line.
• 6 mm away towards the raw edge.
- ease or draw up the gathers to the required length.

Para hacer un pliegue, se deben marcar las líneas del pliegue, fijarlo con alfileres, coserlo en su lugar, quitar el hilván y presionar cada pliegue a lo largo de la línea de costura desde el lado equivocado de la tela.
Al hacer frunces, se debe dividir la longitud en secciones si es larga, dejar los hilos de fruncido hasta completar la costura final, y se pueden realizar a mano o a máquina siguiendo pasos específicos para cada método.
