1 2 Shirring with straight stitch prog Stitch length: 4 mm In order to obtain consistent gather with straight stitch it is imperative to insert 2 to 4 shirring threads. First mark the starting line for the shirring on the face side of the fabric. Sew the first seam straight and carefully. During sewing, pull the fabric taut a little with your hands, because with long stitches the seam will pucker easily (Fig. 1). After sewing, leave about 15 cm of thread hang ing. The next two or three seams can be sewn at about sewing-foot width. Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull them. By this means you determine the amount of gather yourself. Please do not use fine threads, in order to ensure they do not break during gather ing. Afterwards, do not forget to tie off the threads at the beginning and end of the seams (Fig. 2). 85

length:

mm
In
order
to
obtain
consistent
gather
with
straight
stitch
it
is
imperative
to
insert
2
to
4
shirring
threads.
First
mark
the
starting
line
for
the
shirring
on
the
face
side
of
the
fabric.
Sew
the
first
seam
straight
and
carefully.
During
sewing,
pull
the
fabric
taut
a
little
with
your
hands,
because
with
long
stitches
the
seam
will
pucker
easily
(Fig.
1).
After
sewing,
leave
about
15
cm
of
thread
hang
ing.
The
next
two
or
three
seams
can
be
sewn
at
about
sewing-foot
width.
Finally
take
hold
of
all
underthreads
and
pull
them.
By
this
means
you
determine
the
amount
of
gather
yourself.
Please
do
not
use
fine
threads,
in
order
to
ensure
they
do
not
break
during
gather
ing.
Afterwards,
do
not
forget
to
tie
off
the
threads
at
the
beginning
and
end
of
the
seams
(Fig.
2).
