*by D***N on 4 June 2025*

Lovely strong elastic.Its for many uses.and the amount on each bobbin is such a lot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad someone is still making shirring elastic, works OK.
*by E***R on 13 February 2026*

I used this to run through the fine rib hem of a jumper that had gone floppy. It is quite thick and needs a needle with a large eye. The jumper is a very dark navy so it doesn't show, the thread has a good stretch without breaking and works well. But it does fray as you use it, be careful to use the full thread or it will break easily. I am just glad it is still available.
