Shirring is a fabric technique where material is drawn together into parallel gathers by rows of stitches. Using a multi-needle head sewing process allows several of these rows to be stitched at once, creating a uniform, parallel series of gathers across the interior surface. This exactly matches the description of an interior feature where fabric is drawn or gathered in parallel fashion with a multiple-needle sewing process.

Other interior types describe smoother or tailored surfaces or non-fabric materials: a semi-tailored interior features a more structured look without the uniform parallel gathering; a slip panel is a detachable fabric panel; solid wood involves non-fabric material.
