This is my first video of yours I've watched and I subscribed immediately! I love how clearly you speak (ESL speaker here) and actually demonstrate the stitching. I have a ton of cotton I want to use to create clothing out of but I'm very much a beginner, so creating darts and all that seems a bit daunting. Am going to use the shirring technique to perhaps make some simple summer tops with a bit of stretch in the back. Thank you so much! 🧡
That is so wonderful to hear, I’m so happy you enjoy this content and found this tutorial useful and well explained for you. ❤️ as a beginner shirring is great because what you make will naturally fit to your body 💕
Thank you for your clear, easy to follow tutorial. I find the elastic thread method to be much neater and uniform, so I will likely use that for a bodice or dress front. However, while I don’t love the quarter inch elastic method, I’m glad you made me aware of it because that’s the ideal thing where I want more stable shirring,, such as the top of strapless top; or the waistline of pants or skirt/dress. Thank you. Looking forward to more from you.
So glad you love the tutorial Margaret! You can also try the quarter inch elastic by sewing a casing and then feeding that in instead of sewing directly onto the fabric. It was fun try those two ways but this other way could be a better way of using quarter inch elastic and might be neater?
Love this video, so helpful! When winding on the bobbin do you pull it tight or leave it slack whilst winding - I've seen people do different things and I'm confused on the best way to do it?
Question. After shirring my bobbin casing would not tighten for regular thread to finish top. Did I stretch it out with elastic thread and need to get another one ?
I am So frustrated. I have a singer 2277. I have tried all of your tips tricks videos. I’ve changed stitch length to 3-4, tension from 5 all way up to 9. Stretching flat as I sew , tightened and loosen bobbin casing, light weight fabric and still it is not working fabric shir is loose and or top thread popping ? Do you have any suggestions or does some machines just not shir?
Great video ,I prefer the shirted elastic. Thankyou. Jo
Glad to hear you love the video ❤️

I love your shirring tutorials Tammy. Do you ever do shirring on a stretch/jersey fabric? Thanks for sharing 😻
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that ❤️ I haven't tried on jersey fabric yet!
Wow! great video, so helpful. Just subscribed. Keep up the good work 👍
Very helpful tutorial! Thank you so much!

Thank you !!

I feel like it’s personal preference! I always pull the thread a bit so it’s tighter but not too tight either 😂 I’m so glad you love the tutorial! ❤️
Like the second one 👍

Will shirring make the dress smaller?
I am
