I have used both techniques: 1) Elastic "thread" in the bobbin/regular thread matching weight and correct needle type/size on top, 6-8 rows 1/4" apart or... 2) 1/8" soft, flat elastic on wrong side of fabric with correct needle and fabric weight/matching regular thread in both bobbin case and on top, 6-8 rows 1/4" apart.I prefer second method. The less space between rows, the more stretch, so 1/4" perfect for me! It is fast and so easy to produce pro results. 😊
@sewaldodiy4 жыл бұрын
Thank you I will try it. I was practicing the other day the beginning doesn't gather properly, the middle part where it gathered was beautiful.
@TheJudeJane4 жыл бұрын
SEW ALDO Use a ZIGZAG stitch to encase the 1/8" flat elastic, but to sew with elastic (thread) in the bobbin use a STRAIGHT stitch. Either way, the elastic is always sewn on the WRONG side of the fabric.
