Depending on your elastic's thickness and how much fabric you are guiding into the elastic, I would use a standard needle (12) with a stretch stitch on my machine. Kate

How do you put shearing elastic into the top of a dress using a sewing machine?

Shirring a dress is as easy as sewing a simple straight stitch. Purchase elastic thread from your local fabric store. Load a bobbin with the elastic thread and sew several horizontal lines around the neck line for as far down as you wish the shirring to go. Make sure the elastic is on the wrong side of the fabric.

Why does a tailor use a sewing machine to stitch clothes?

A tailor may use a sewing machine for a few reasons. It saves time, as a sewing machine sews much more quickly than hand sewing. Also, a sewing machine makes interlocking stitches, making the stitch tighter and more durable. Lastly, a sewing machine offers more options for sewing - stitch length, width, zig-zags, etc. - that either can't be done by hand, or would be very difficult to do.
