Hi, I have a Kenmore sewing machine and just recieved the gather presser foot for it. I tried it out and it just sewed a straight smooth stitch. I did some research online and found that I need to change my tension and stitch length, I got it to start gathering. When I was running a skinny length of fabric through the foot to attach as I am gathering (as you would if adding elastic) it would only gather every eighth or quarter inch, not a steady gather. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have sewn several clothing items for myself including a 3-piece wardrobe, but I am still a novice at sewing. I would like to learn how to make my clothes look more professional. Thank You, Brenda
