Using elastic thread in the bobbin doesn't make the material gather, you have to do it yourself. This is called shirring. You'll need to use a zigzag stich, make several rows of stitching, secure the top thread and the elastic thread on one edge of the fabric and then pull the elastic threads on the other edge to produce the gathering or shirring.

How do you use shirring elastic on cotton material?
Hand wind the shirring elastic onto your bobbin. Use same color standard thread for the top. If you are going to need a hem, hem it first because it's harder after shirring. Simply sew the lines from one end of the line to the other, about 1/2 inch apart. The shirring elastic will automatically gather the fabric for you. Be sure to tie the ends to keep them from pulling out, or anchor them with extra stitching.

What stitch is used to sew and finish elastic fabric?
A contributor named Amanda Mangan contributed this suggestion on Simplicity.com: "I have a great method for making the casing for an elastic band without having to feed the elastic through the casing. On the wrong side of the fabric, stretch out the elastic around the place you want the casing, until the elastic ends meet. Make sure you leave the fabric allotment on top for the casing. Tightly pin down the elastic. Sew the elastic onto the fabric straight through the middle of the elastic. Just finish by folding the casing over the elastic and sewing in place."
