It sure did help along with the video that Diane posted........THANK YOU BOTH!

I just watched the video, and the only change I would make is, I would hand gather the towel since I tend to break machine gathering stitches on cotton and on toweling it would be impossible for me. Also, if you put a small piece of tissue paper over the toweling and under the pressed foot, you will not catch threads on the pressed foot. Have fun!
