One good technique I learned was how to gather using a zigzag over a strong base thread. Very useful when gathering a LOT of material, like a big ruffle onto a skirt bottom. And the gingham method of cartridge pleating. Sharon C.
Some people use drapery shirring tape for cartridge pleating--sew on the tape, then draw up the cord. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it might work well for theater, as apparently theatrical productions often keep hand sewing and other labor-intensive techniques to the minimum.
