SingerGathering Presser Foot for Low-Shank Sewing Machines, Simutaneously Trims & Hems Edges, Zig-Zag and Over-Edge Stitches - Sewing Made Easy

This presser foot works perfect, saves you a lot of time doing the gathering/ruffling for you, you do need to play around with the stitch lenght on your machine or else it will just work a basic straight line no ruffle, dont give up on it to soon, just change your stitch lenght and widht on your machine and it will work perfectly

This works with my machine (Brother PC8500) but only if I use the shank extender I have. I'm not sure if that's the "official" name for it but it's an additional length of shank that attaches with a screw and fits into the regular shank like a puzzle piece. Then it snaps into the foot as usual. I couldn't figure out why the shank was about a half an inch too short at first and wondered how to fix it - what can I say, I'm not Einstein and forgot I had the extender!That said, I adore this gathering foot. It makes beautiful ruffles so easily. I haven't had any problems with the needle catching, you just have to make sure you keep the needle in the center position. I don't know how I did ruffles with out this (and my pleating foot, another essential!).

I recently started sewing doll clothes. Most of the dresses have a gathered skirt. I first started doing it myself and then decided to get the gathering presser foot. Wow! Big time saver. I love it and don't ever want to be without it. Of course it can not gather exact but it is east to make the gather more or less. A must have if you sew gathers. It'll save a lot of time and frustration.

Easy to use! I just wish it ruffled tulle fabric a bit more.

Does the job effortsly. Would recommend if you have a project requiring a lot of gathers.

This was a perfect fit for my sewing machine and I have had no problems with this item.

Makes gathering light fabric effortless! A must have time saver!!!

Could not get this foot to gather fabric. Changed tension and length width etc. no go.Waste of money.
