Is a stitch used to achieve fullness and/or give curvature to
seam. There are two ways you can shirr; one is by using loose
medium length hand stitch leaving a long tail at the one end and
knotting it at the other, then pulling to desired fullness/curve
and length. The other way is by using a #2.5 straight stitch on
the machine while placing your index finger behind the presser
foot of the machine, and leaving long tails at both ends and
then pulling etc.       • This is a question   1. Sign in to add
