Michael O. ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

It worked perfectly for gathering the waist of a lightweight linen blouse, and the 30-yard spool gave me plenty for multiple rows.

George ★★★★★ Oct 21, 2026

I used this for shirring on a cotton sundress and it created perfect, even gathers after I adjusted the bobbin tension. The thread is thin but surprisingly strong, so I didn't worry about it snapping while stitching multiple rows.

The bobbin tension took me a couple tries to get right, but once it was set, the shirring rows came out perfectly even on cotton voile. That 30-yard spool went further than I expected, and the thread’s elasticity held up beautifully through multiple washes.
