Ella M. ★★★★★

I used it to shirr a sundress out of cotton lawn and the gathers came out beautifully even after several washes. The spool is small but thirty yards goes a long way when you're just using it in the bobbin.

Joseph Q. ★★★★★

The bobbin loading was fussy at first, but once I got the tension right, the shirring came out perfectly even on my linen blouse. Thirty yards went further than I expected, and the gathers held their shape through two washes.

Timothy ★★★★★

I ran three rows of shirring on a cotton blouse and the gathers came out even without any puckering. The thread is thin enough to fit in a standard bobbin, which made setup easy.
