🧵 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Select the Stitch
- Choose a long straight stitch on your sewing machine (around 3.5–6 mm).
2. Sew the First Line
- Sew a first line of stitching close to the edge of the fabric without backstitching.
3. Sew the Second Line (Optional)
- Sew a second line parallel and close to the first one — this helps create more even gathers.
4. Pull the Threads
- Gently pull the bobbin threads from both ends to gather the fabric.
- Distribute the gathers evenly until you reach the desired length.

💡 Pro Tip: Shirring works best on lightweight cotton, viscose, or rayon. Avoid heavy or thick fabrics.
