COUCHED ELASTIC SHIRRING
Elastic thread is often used to control fullness at the
waistline or cuff. Zigzag stitch over one or two strands
of elastic thread, drawing the elastic thread to give the
tautness desired. Knot ends securely. This treatment
provides a snug fit with elasticity. Either side may be
used as right side, depending upon the effect desired.

ELASTIC SHIRRING
Elastic thread is wound on the bobbin without stretch
ing, while regular sewing thread is used in the needle.
The machine is regulated for straight stitching. Stitch
parallel rows with a 10 stitch. The bobbin tension is
regulated so that it is heavy enough to stretch the
elastic thread when stitching, but light enough to
avoid breaking or fraying. Thread ends are fastened
securely by tying.
