Classic elastic thread for shirring and gathers. Wind by hand onto a bobbin and stitch with regular thread on top to add stretch panels to dresses, cuffs and waistlines or to gather home‑décor accents. Composition is 60% latex/40% polyester for reliable recovery. For best results, test stitch length and tension on scraps and steam after sewing to tighten the gathers. Not for high‑heat ironing; launder cool and air‑dry.
