“How is sewing pucker reduced?” is the only question this page answers.

Lighter needles, balanced tension, and a stable underlayer help sheers. The right fix depends on the machine and the cloth. This page will not list dial numbers.

The points to keep are Cloth and tension, together. Sheers need support. A heavy thread can cause the wave.
