Materials Needed

Steps for Use

Step 1: Measure and Cut

1. Use a measuring tape to determine the length of elastic needed for your project, such as waistbands, cuffs, or other areas requiring elasticity.
2. Cut the elastic to the desired length using scissors, adding an extra inch for overlap.

Step 2: Position the Elastic

1. Pin the elastic to the fabric where you want it placed using safety pins to hold it in position, if necessary.
2. Ensure the elastic is evenly distributed to avoid bunching.

Step 3: Sew the Elastic

1. If using a sewing machine, select a zigzag stitch to allow for elasticity.
2. Sew the elastic onto the fabric, stretching it slightly as you sew to maintain elasticity.
3. If sewing by hand, use a running stitch or backstitch, ensuring to stretch the elastic as you sew.

Step 4: Secure the Ends

1. Overlap the ends of the elastic by about an inch.
2. Sew securely to ensure the ends are firmly attached and will not come apart.

Additional Tips

• Test the elasticity after sewing by stretching the fabric to ensure the elastic is securely attached.
• Trim any excess threads to give a neat finish.
• Follow specific garment or project instructions for best results.
