Sooo.. I have an issue.. What KIND of elastic for the bobbin are we talking about? I bought some and it was too tight.. then I bought more and it’s not really doing anything.. I feel like it’s super tiny and it’s not going to ‘shirr’ it? Any suggestions?

I tried the elastic thread in my bobbin and an awful noise (squealin and squeeking) came from the bobbin area. Have you ever heard of this happening?
Even with the noise the machine was doing the shirring just fine. I’m just afraid it might be damaging my machine. My machine is a 2 year old

I am in search of large enough t shirts to try this method for myself. It seems easy enough for me to make.
Thank you for the instructions.
