I have a Singer 201-2 and have had a terrible time shirring on it. The bobbin tension always seems to go wonky. Just wondered if you had the same machine and had any tips.

That's what does the shirring, I think.It's handy to wind an extra bobbin though. They can't hold too much of the thicker elastic thread so you go through it pretty quick!You can call me Betty, or Bethany, or Beth ...Just don't call me late for dinner.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04105440452868506777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-57022332807756614682011-04-03T07:59:36.718-07:002011-04-03T07:59:36.718-07:00Fabulous!
