Does your stretch serger thread break easily or feel too scratchy on your sleeves? This shirring elastic thread for sewing is the answer. The elastic shirring thread is comfortable to the touch and adds the perfect balance of elasticity and strength, resisting fraying and unraveling. The thin elastic thread has minimal lint and glides smoothly through materials without constricting, catching and kinking like other traditional sewing stretch thread. The sewing elastic cord with heat-treatable ends is easy to thread and knot and compatible with various materials, making the ideal hand and machine sewing elastic thread for creating gathering, shirring, and smocking. With plenty of length included, this elastic tread on a spool will last for several projects. The elastic garment thread functioning like rubber thread adds stretchiness and can be seamlessly sewn into lightweight denim garments, embroidery, tutus, blouses, nightgowns, shirts, dresses, tops, and bikini bottoms. The stretch fabric sewing thread is handy to keep around for mending old hoodies and repairing tears and rips in jeans and sweaters. The skinny elastic for sewing adds weight and strength to crocheted garments, jackets, sock ribbings, cuffs, stockings, mittens, legwarmers, sleeves, and collars where stretch recovery is often insufficient. The thread stretchable is also perfect for tasks like cinching bed skirts, repairing upholstery items, or creating jar covers. For DIY crafting and beading, the crafting stretch thread is great for making Kandi bracelets, beaded bracelets, hair ties, hairbows, party hats, necklaces, cozies, and keychains, sewing doll clothing. The versatility of colored elastic for sewing even extends to staking tomatoes or hanging cat feathers.
