No More Shirring Problems! EVER!

by 2 Comments

No more shirring problems No more shirring problems

S H I R R I N G…..does that sound scary to some of you? I know, it does kind of when your sewing machine just isn’t in the mood to do the job. I have gotten so many emails from people asking me why their machine doesn’t shirr and it kept bothering me for a while because I never knew that a tiny little screw was the key to success because I never had shirring problems. Anyway, for good……..here are two awesome blogs that put together tutorials on how to fix the mysterious thing about machines not “wanting” to shirr, so you will have no more shirring problems.

    Fantastic! I’ve been wondering about how to try this but have been too chicken to even try. I’ll be getting some elastic thread and giving it a try. Any suggestions for a first project?
