You will need "unbreakable thread" - this can be crochet thread, dental floss, embroidery thread.
Start by tacking down your unbreakable with a few straight stitches.
Then change to a medium width Zig Zag.
Zig Zag over the unbreakable. Careful not to sew the unbreakable itself
When satisfied with length of fabric and gathering, tie a knot in the unbreakable thread to hold in place. Cut excess thread off

Trust me...that is the ONLY way to gather.
Great idea! Keep em coming I know you have tons!
That is my trick to ruffles! Not just thread ever again!
Great tip, I needed this the other day when I was making a bed skirt ruffle, haha.
BRILLIANT!!! Seriously, this is like a light bulb moment for me.
Thanks for sharing :)
