- All the secrets to stitching with elastic thread in the bobbin of the sewing machine or the chain looper of a serger/cover hem machine are shared by Londa in this detail-filled video. Series 900 It's Sew Easy TV - PBS.
love the video...learn so much from you...
I'm a man in my 60's. In 1985, I was in the Marines. Another guy was showing me a photo of his wife and I commented about how pretty she was. I think she may have been holding a little white poodle. He then actually sold me the photo for $1. He was pretty goofy, obviously. Anyhow, you look exactly like that woman. This would be so weird... never mind.
Thanks for the video. I have succeeded in loading the elastic thread in the bobbin but now I can't get the elastic to pull up through the bottom of the machine. Any tips please? I have a brother se425
Very educational. Thanks. How is the thickness of the elastic measured? Where can buy the thicker version? Thanks
This video aired on It's Sew Easy, on PBS, and the policy is you can't share brand names. However, from memory, StretchRite is fatter than Dritz. There is no way to measure, other than comparing one with the other. My pattern, Sensational Shirring gives ALL the how-to's and lots of fun designs with all types of shirring techniques.

love the video I really need to do more work with my serger but I am afraid I will mess up.. thanks for sharing
How do you attach the free motion square to the garment? Are interfacing the back of the garment or the flower?
Thanks for asking - I just tacked the flower to t he garment by hand. It's lasted through washing - hang to dry - about 5 seasons now.
I have elastic thread in my bobbin and I am stitching with a 4.5 length stitch. I am not getting enough of a "ruffle" it's really kind of flat. What am I doing wrong? I need more pull up.
Thanks! I have always had difficulty winding bobbins with elastic thread. Now I know how!
Great video! The free motion technique has so many possibilities. I can't wait to show this technique to my granddaughters.
thanks for the comparisons on the different shirring methods.
Thank you for your videos.
Does the elastic thread also go thru needles?
no - elastic thread ONLY in the bobbin.
That’s a cover stitch there’s no blade
It may look like it, but truly - it is the Chain Stitch, not a Cover Stitch. Both of those don't use the Blade, but rather move the blade down, below the surface.
Great learning how to with elastic thread. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me greatly!
I noticed that your knife was not in the way could you please explain I have a brother 1034D
the 1034D is only a 4 thread serger, the machine she is using is a cover-stitch machine. When I don't want the fabric cut with my 1034D, I move it out of the way.
Thank you. I now know more about using elastic thread. Your video is very clear and to the point.
Thanks for taking time to Comment. I have lots more video of techniques in my 3 set DVD on stitching on knits: www.londas-sewing.com/product-page/stretching-your-knit-sewing-know-how-with-londa
