Maureen Martinek Intermediate TX USA Member since 3/16/09 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/22/09 0:36 AM Iwould love to make this dress for my daughter, but I don't understand the gathering process for the ruffle. The directions say to "baste from the top edge of the garment to about 12 inches down" Pull the bobbin thread to gather, overstitch with reg stitch. Doesn't the ruffle run the entire front of the dress? There is my confusion: 12" or the entire length? My appreciation if someone could shine a light on this for me. Thanks.

I will go and change the article too. ------ - Deepika Founder, PatternReview.com Blog: http://www.deepikablogs.com
