Gutermann Black Elastic Thread 10m Spool 10-4017

Add Stretch to Smocking and Shirring with Gutermann Black Elastic Thread at World Weidner

Gutermann black elastic thread is a soft, stretchy bobbin thread made for smocking, shirring, and other gathered sewing where the fabric needs to recover after stretch. Wound for the bobbin, it pairs with regular sewing thread on top so seams and decorative gathers hold shape without bulk.

The fiber blend is 64% polyester and 36% polyurethane for durable stretch that stays elastic through wear and washing. It can also be knitted into welts when you want extra give. Use it for children's clothing, smocked bodices, blouse waists, sleeve heads, and soft home-sewing gathers. Our team can help you choose needle, tension, and stitch length for smooth shirring results.
