42# Latex Shirring Elastic Thread 0.5mm Bobbin Cord

MH 42# latex shirring elastic thread is a fine 0.5mm latex cord elastic wound onto the bobbin and sewn as the bottom thread to create shirred, elasticated gathers.

Made from latex in the 42# gauge, alongside companion 37# and 63# sizes, the cord stretches and recovers so that straight machine-stitched rows draw the fabric into even, springy folds. 

It shirrs necklines, sleeves, waistlines and cuffs on dresses, blouses, childrenswear and other lightweight garments.
