## Overview

Hobby Components Shirring Elastic is a lightweight, high-quality elastic fabric designed for creating beautiful smocked effects in your sewing projects. With a compact size of 6.5 x 5.5 x 2.2 cm and weighing only 10 g, it's the perfect addition to your sewing toolkit. Simply wind it onto your bobbin, and you're ready to transform your fabric with ease!

## Description

Shirring elastic is used in the bobbin of your sewing machine. It allows you to create a smocked effect in your fabric. When using this elastic, you'll need to slowly wind it onto a bobbin by hand. Be careful not to pull or stretch the thread as you wind it. Then simply pop the bobbin into your machine as usual. Don't use this as the top thread on your machine, it's not necessary - just use your regular thread in the top. Put down the presser foot and (on a scrap piece of fabric!!) begin to sew... then sew another line about half an inch away from the first. Once you've sewn a few test lines of stitches you'll see it pulling together your fabric as it should, thus creating the "smocked" effect.
