Re: How to Create Elastic Shirring

Girls I did it!!! =) I had some difficulties at first but managed to fix the problem, I was determined to do it!!!

I have a Husqvarna, Vicking Platinum 730, so I just placed the stitch length to the highest, in my case to a 6; pumped up the thread tension to the MAX, on my machine the highest is 9, and last but not least, I winded the elastic thread onto the bobbin with a little tension because I was shirring a light fabric, on other fabrics you must hand wind the elastic thread loose.

My top looks so nice! Thank you very much CalPatch !!!

I love sewing!!! =)
