Is a gathering foot the same as a shirring foot?
The lower layer fabric will be gathered and stitched to the top fabric. This foot is also called a shirring foot because it creates the shirred effect easily when you use thin elastic thread on your bobbin. If you want small gathers use a short stitch and if you want full gathers use a longer stitch length.

Why won’t my gathering foot gather?
The longer the stitch length and the tighter the upper tension, the fuller the gathers. The gathers will also be affected by the thickness of your fabric. You will see the best results in fine fabrics. Heavy fabrics are very hard to gather with this foot and would be better suited to gathering with a ruffler foot.
