Shirring with elastic threads 2 :Jz2 * Cording foot (special accessory) First mark the starting line for the shirred seams on the underside of the fabric. Insert the needle at the seam beginning point and place an elastic thread around the needle. Insert the elastic thread in the groove of the sewing foot in use. Lower the presser foot and sew a number of seams at about foot width. Ensure that the elastic thread is not pierced during sewing and do not stretch it. Finally, pull the threads with your hand, and determine the amount of gather yourself. Knot the threads on the inside (see Fig. 1). Instead of elastic thread it is also possible to use heavy cotton thread (see Fig. 2). Pull the fabric to the required width and stitch the threads down. This provides you with a fixed shirred edge.

*
Cording
foot
(special
accessory)
First
mark
the
starting
line
for
the
shirred
seams
on
the
underside
of
the
fabric.
Insert
the
needle
at
the
seam
beginning
point
and
place
an
elastic
thread
around
the
needle.
Insert
the
elastic
thread
in
the
groove
of
the
sewing
foot
in
use.
Lower
the
presser
foot
and
sew
a
number
of
seams
at
about
foot
width.
Ensure
that
the
elastic
thread
is
not
pierced
during
sewing
and
do
not
stretch
it.
Finally,
pull
the
threads
with
your
hand,
and
determine
the
amount
of
gather
yourself.
Knot
the
threads
on

width
and
stitch
