I was over at Amazon and saw a need for a how-to for the gathering foot. I left a comment and thought I would post here, too.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown to using the gathering foot:

The bottom layer will gather. So with right sides facing, lay your longer piece of fabric (to be gathered) on the bottom and the main fabric on top. Sew in the same manner as if you were gathering one piece of fabric.
Hope this helps.
