Here's that experiment with patterned gathering in fine linen that I mentioned yesterday. This is just a quick-and-dirty place-holder for a future article, so please don't link to it.

Very cool. So what ratio are you going to try next?

I'm actually trying to see if I can get a lower ratio while still getting the very smooth ground surface. I may try the same fabric but doing the ground with an over-2/under-2 stitch and the pattern stitches going under 6.
