Sick of Failed atempts when thread breaks
?
Find out How to do it the easy way...
If you're looking at this Gathering Foot, chances are...

- You've made a few gowns already, and you know how much time (and PAIN) it took.
- Youre sick & tired of thread breaking - in the middle of gathering a full skirt!
There's NOTHING more frustrating than having to RE-DO the gathering on ruffles or a full skirt - because your thread breaks!
Especially when you have been at it all night - and SO close to finishing!
What if making soft gathering quickly and perfectly was easier than you think?
Often the hard part is to come up with exactly the right tool, for the right job, at the right price.

Is this a Genuine Janome Foot?
Unlike some others in the market, this foot is made by the same people that makes branded sewing machine parts. At the same factory where sewing machine companies gets their parts made and packaged - located only a few minutes down the road from one of the BEST sewing machine factory in Taiwan.
This company is a third-generation family business that specialises in presser feet and parts. They are one of the few certified makers for well-known sewing machine brands. That means you can trust the quality too.
I've personally visited the factory to verify for myself. I was genuinely impressed because of their a high quality assurance of Japanese standard - where the best sewing machines are still being made.
The only difference is in the packaging - we had ours packaged under our own brand.
This means I'm 100% happy and confident that you and your sewing machine are in safe hands - because I recommend this foot to all my students, and use it for my own sewing too!
So do our happy customers - here's just one of many reviews:
Just want to say a Huge belated 'Thank You'.... I waited to try your foot first... because I previously bought a 'cheap' (very cheap) foot a few weeks ago elsewhere... and it broke after a few uses.
Your foot feels solid and seems much better quality...and works a lot smoother...and you posted it out so fast I got my project finished quickly....so Thank You!!"

What does "Low Shank" and "High Shank" mean?
It means "shank height" or "shank size".
Most domestic machines have LOW shanks.
Just to give you an idea, we sell about 10 low shank presser feet to ONE high shank foot. That means if you don't know what sort of shank your machine has, it probably has a low shank.
Because High Shank machines are generally "fancy" embroidery models which are more costly, and those who invest in these models tend to know exactly what shank type it is.
This Gathering Foot is ideal for creating fullness in soft, light-weight fabric - whether you're making a full skirt, a frill around cushions or an evening dress!
This foot is designed for creating soft gathers in lightweight fabrics.
The underside of the foot is raised behind the needle and has a thick bar in front of the needle to gather and attach your gathered-up frill onto a flat piece of fabric simultaneously. If you have a heavier fabric, or want a a more dramatic gather, or more definite pleats / ruffle, you might want to use a ruffler foot instead (which we also stock. Please check out the rufflers in our store).
Unlike a ruffler, there is NO "cogs and wheels" and moving parts on your gathering foot....
That means you WILL find that differnt fabric give very different end results, so it is definitely worth your while to test on any particular fabric you plan to use so that you end up with a satisfying result!
Once you've tried it, you will NEVER go back to making gathering by hand ever again!
This foot goes onto your machine just like any other screw-on presser foot. it's designed to fit most domestic machines.
A Gathering Foot will give your work a soft, vintage-inspired finish.
With no hand-gathering required, you will be amazed at how much you can do by machine!
Sure, there are LOTS of different methods of gathering in fullness in the fabrc to make frills...
But if you were making lots of full skirts, vintage-inspired dresses, or evening gowns....
You might find this foot the BEST investment. EVER.
And say good-bye to other fiddly methods!
Of course, the more you practice, the more comfortable you will become...
See this detailed description from a happy customer:
"This is a great little foot to make gathers, and ruffles. In general, if you set the machine for the longest length and the highest tension, you get a really good gather.
It came without instructions (which is normal for machine feet), but having used this type of foot for years, you only needs to adjust a higher tension and a longer stitch length on your machine to make this wonderful little foot work properly.
To make a fairly nice ruffle, finish both edges of ruffle first with a rolled hem or a tiny edge hem.
Next place the strip needed for a ruffle under this foot. NOT in the slot of this foot. Then lower the presser foot and stitch away using a straight stitch.
To attach the ruffle or gathered strip to an edge of the project you are making, place the strip you want to ruffle or gather under this foot, lower the presser foot, insert the edge you want to attach the strip to in the slot of this foot.
Guide the top layer against the right side of the foot and also guide the strip to be gathered underneath it. SEW SLOWLY until you get the right feel for it to achieve the desired result you need.
It does take a little bit of practice, but a beginner can make beautiful gathers and ruffles with this foot.
This gathering foot IS different to a more expensive ruffler/pleater. It DOES NOT Make equal spaced pleats. Also adjust the tension and the stitch length for the amount of gathering you want (try it on scraps first).
NOTE: The lighter weight the fabric is the more it will gather tighter. Example lace will gather tighter than a medium weight cotton. Overall it does make very nice gathers, and definitely saves you time from having to do all your gatherings by hand!"

How long will it take to receive my order?
All fully paid orders placed by 5pm Monday to Thursday will be processed overnight and ready to send by our warehouse - normally the next day or following business day.
Orders placed on Friday and Weekends will be processed on Sunday night - because our warehouse operates Monday to Friday except Public Holidays.
Once it leaves our warehouse, the actual time frame is up to the delivery services. This can vary depending on your location and road conditions.
Any delivery time estimates shown are estimates only - so please use it as a guide line.
You'll receive a few email updates from our system as your order progresses, so please stay tuned on these!
How will my order be sent?
We use a dispatch system that works out the most efficient way to send your order.
This way the postage works out fair and reasonable, and your parcel reaches you quickly as well - because we know you can't wait!
In general, larger items tend to be delivered by couriers, while small items tend to go by Aust Post.
How is my postage calculated?
Great question.
Depending on weight and dimension, some times we are able to do Flat Rate across Australia, so the postage is the same no matter where you are.
Other times we use the Built-in Calculated system provided by Aust Post, and your postage is calculated based on YOUR location.
Can I get it delivered to my P.O. Box?
Depends on the item (and its dimensions), because Aust Post have size restrictions and couriers are NOT allowed to deliver to a P.O. Box.
Please check with us when in doubt.
If you have nominated a P.O. box, and the item is within Aust Post size, then it will go by Aust Post. Most of the time, this is the case.
When your item is too big, or being sent directly from our supplier, then we need you to provide a physical address so we can send a courier.
Can I get my order sent to a different delivery address?
Your sure can!
When you check out, you can choose to ship your order to your billing address or a different address.
Simply choose the second option, and then fill in the shipping address of where you want you parcel sent.
Please double check we have Your Correct Address so your order can find its way to you!
What if courier services are not available in my area?
Some locations are outside of courier services....
In these cases we CAN arrange for your order to be deliverd to your local post office.
But please provide us with a street address (street number & name) - even if it is the only Post Office in town - as if it is an office address.
A phone number would help too - this will avoid delays.
What if I need my order urgently?
No worries, we will do our best. Just let us know.
Please give us as much notice as possible - especially for special occasions like birthdays!
In most cases, we CAN arrange an upgrade from Regular Post to Express Post for a little extra.
Please contact us first so we can update your invoice to show the correct amount.
