I have seen that pattern before and I really do think I need to buy it! Anyway, about shirring. I, too, have a Brother machine and I was able to smock something with no problem. However, if I remember correctly (I did it a long time ago), I was told not to stretch the elastic when hand winding it on the bobbin. For me, it does not work that way! It made a huge mess! Stretch the elastic when hand winding the bobbin - don't stretch too hard but certainly stretch a bit and see how that works for you. I believe that is what made the difference for me.Chantelle - ThousandSquareFeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305927922846880598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315271713313762220.post-12002029337666223752010-05-23T13:34:07.753-07:002010-05-23T13:34:07.753-07:00Hi Jeanne!
Yes, shirring gives you the same effect...Hi Jeanne!<br />Yes, shirring gives you the same effect as smocking except that is ti stretchy. :) You use elastic thread in your bobbin and regular tread in the top of your machine and just sew a normal stitch. Well...theoretically that is how it is suppose to work. ;)The Attached Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004884623249587905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315271713313762220.post-73596971746643450222010-05-22T19:11:10.905-07:002010-05-22T19:11:10.905-07:00Beautiful girl and dress!
