Shirred Top or Dress Tutorial *Img Heavy* - DL

[skalafut]

leave the needle in the fabric and rotate it again 90 degrees lining up the other side of your presser foot with the first row of shirring

That's what I've been doing, too. It just seem to me that it would make the shirring less likely to come apart.

GREAT Tutorial! Thanks!

I only do this when my rows are close together.
But if, for instance, I am making two rows close...leaving a longer spacw of about an inch and then 2 rows close...then I don't. I actually learned that way in Ottobre.

ok, i am trying this now and have a few questions.

with the bobbin...is the elestic thread suposed to be wound tight (streched) or relaxed as it is on the spool i bought it on.

does the tention or anything on my machine need to be diffrent.

i gave it a try and don't see much happening. i have read to add more rows...but wanted to ask these before waisting too much fabric/thread

thanks!
