i have tried but mine is not shirring, what am i doing wrong :(
I found that I had to loosen my bobbin tension and increase my top or needle tension, then I set it to the longest stitch length I had. Good luck, this worked well for me. I also found the more rows I sewed the better the shirring looked.
