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.
