Never thought of using elastic thread to gather specialty fabrics or regular fabrics. Great video and liked the part about the steam to constrict the elastic. Great video.❤
What a neat technique! I don’t have trouble doing regular gathers, but this is a fascinating technique just to have in your toolkit … never know when you might need it. (And thank you for reminding us to remove both rows of gathering stitches … looks so much nicer that way, and doesn’t take 10 seconds to do!)
One question - does the elastic continue to constrict when you iron the piece once it is complete? Should I attempt to only press the item from the opposite side or will it stabilize? Lovely video and very well done. I learned a couple of great things to help with my new adventure of sewing doll clothing. Thank you.
Thank you that was well & clear directed ❣️
Love this idea! The use of steam to shrink the gathers is interesting1
Thank you for posting this video.
This is so interesting! I’m definitely going to be doing this. Thank you!!
Love the idea of using elastic thread to make the gathers on trims evenly spaced. Would be great to make shoulder straps with this technique.
I am picking up elastic thread today at the store!!

looks so easy when you do it ....practice !! Thank you Shari ~ Happy New Year 2024 too you and yours ....
this video is wonderful as I had not been able to use my top loading bobbin machine...now I can
Thank you!
I need to try this method. I’ve done it before but it hadn’t turned out well.
Can you recommend good scissors ? Thank you.

Can I use a bobbin that only has one hole?
