What is ruching define?

Ruching is a sewing technique used on fabrics where the fabric is gathered or pleated to create a ruffle or decorative effect.

The technique is achieved by sewing long, parallel rows of stitches along the length of the fabric and then pulling the threads to gather the fabric evenly.
