Review: Fantastic shirring! - I have been trying to sew a cotton gauze summer dress with a name-brand shirring elastic thread I bought. Its been a... trial. I managed, mostly. But of course I was running low on the 30yd spool after having countless problems getting it to be reasonably stretchy and consistent. I used a huge 'scrap' of fabric just practicing the stitch, with very inconsistent and often not-very-stretchy results. It was frustrating to say the least, and I darn near gave up and just tried to make faux shirring with 1/4" elastic. But I am a tenacious sort, and this Mandala thread is affordable. Plus I have been really pleased with other Mandala brand products I have tried in the past. So, I decided to give it one more go. Well, I am ecstatic with how easy shirring became once I switched to this elastic. It works with basically any highish needle tension. Its easier to wind on the bobbin. At first I was a bit concerned at how different the two elastic threads were. They are the same size and color, but thats where the similarities end. This thread has well over 100% stretch and excellent recovery, whereas the other had about 70% stretch and so-so recovery. All the shirring tutorials I saw said the fabric should shrink to around 50% of its original width, and after hours of struggle the best I managed before was 65%. While the Mandala thread gives me just under 50%. Perfect. I am not sure how the thread will hold up long term in a garment, but the same can be said about the other brand. I mean, I have never known shirred garments to be terribly durable anyway. As for shirring a lightweight fabric like cotton double gauze, its just a dream. Like, its fail proof with this thread and fabric, at least with my ancient Husqy Viking machine. In fact, after all the trouble and frustration yesterday, suddenly shirring is quite fun thanks to buying a different thread. I will not hesitate to buy different colors if I ever run out of this spool (its massive!) but for just a basic light colored garment, this thread works great. Its hidden anyway. If you are looking for thread for shirring fabric, try this. Heck, if you failed before at shirring or are intimidated by it, try this thread. Its excellent. So good that I am willing to pick ten lines of shirring on double gauze off the sleeves of my dress just to replace it with this thread. I imagine every sewist knows how unappealing I find that job overall- thats how much I like this thread. * The shirring on the right (5 rows) in the image is the old brand, and on the left (4 rows) is the Mandala thread. Look how much nicer the Mandala shirring is!
Review: Just what I needed - This is a very stretchy thread. It worked for my purpose. I used it to reduce the width of some of the shoulder sleeves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and value
*by J***K on March 29, 2026*

It works great! Very durable, great value for your money, and the color is as expected. It does knot easily because it’s elastic but I still highly recommend it! The rolls are very large so you can get a lot of use for your money!
