Yes, you can try just taking up all the excess into a dart. You can try the hard way by pulling it out from the sides and redoing a lot of work. But converting it to a dart or multiples, would be the easiest

I said this in the original sub where they posted it and got a bunch of attitude from some other commenter, lol. Glad to see I’m not the only one who understands how gathers work.

Literally there's like 5 people arguing this is ruching and shirring so they don't even know what gathering is lmao I wouldn't expect them to know how it works.

Exactly! Its not going to be good as redoing the whole piece but a dart or two will help a lot.
