OT: sewing/shirring
I am trying to shirr the top of a sundress using elastic thread in the bobbin and regular thread in the needle. I found a video on the technique craftser.org, but when my fabric goes through the machine it is not shirring at all.

Has anyone done this? Ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Candice
