Gosh that was too easy wow I have avoided it for soooo long but how do you determine how much fabric you need to go around your body

[@thecbsacademy]

So you’re going to shirr the width of fabric. Normally cotton which is 45” wide but if doing rayon it may be 60” wide and however long you want it that’s the yardage so 1 yard long might be up to your knees and the width of fabric about 8” down from top
I’m actually doing a FREE class on it tonight 7:30 cst feel free to join!

WOW! What are you setting on your machine, do you leave it at the default sitch settings? I have the 480 and Like you I am a Brenina lover. I switched over from Babylock.

Hi @nevahodges9160 yes I leave it on the regular 2.5 stitch settings.
It depends on the fabric you’re using as well. Sometimes I’ll change the length to 3.0 or 3.5 so play with your stitch length on samples to see what you like best 😃
