    RE: SHIRRING

    I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH SHIRRING A CHIFFON POLY FABRIC BLOUSE AT WAIST.

    THE BOBBIN GETS STUCK AND LIFTS UP AND RAVELS, WHEN I THREAD IT WITH THE ELASTIC THREAD BY HAND. I DO IT BY HAND SO IT IS NOT TOO TIGHT. I DID ONCE BEFORE, BY HAND TIGHT THREADING AND THEN LOOSE, AND I SAW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SHIRRING.

    BUT NOW I’M HAVING PROBLEM WHEN I RETHREADED IT. AM I PUTTING THE NEEDLE BACK IN THE WRONG WAY, OR MAYBE IT’S THE NEEDLE, AND AT WHAT TENSION DO I USE IT..AT 0 OR 1. THE STITCH I USE 5 AS THE LENGTH.
    WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? PLEASE ADVISE.

    PLEASE ADVISE ASAP SO I CAN FINISH MY PROJECT.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP ON THESE ISSUES.
