1 Shirring with straight stitch prog -- 00 OA 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 seams 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 thread ends of about 15 cm (6 in.). The next two or three seams can be sewn at about sewing-foot width. Finally take hold of all underthreads and pull on 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 when you pull. Do not forget to tie off the threads on the reverse fabric side at the beginning and end of the seams afterwards (Fig. 2). 66
