[@jakesmith6337]

Your awesome 👏

[@TheXzaclee16]

Thank you. Very helpful. Question though ; is it ok to buy thicker elastic and cut down to smaller sizes or do you recommend having both thin and thick. Basically im afraid ill have issues sewing 1/4 inch cause its so thin. Are there instances where you really need a inch thick elastic? Or do you think 1/4 inch is usually good

[@n1ice1]

What machine do you have? Looks like it works great. This was amazing video. I am refreshing my skills after many long years and this was super helpful.

[@justtt.tht.stray.coolie]

hi good dayy!! ive been looking for videos asking ppl but nobody has a answer so i found a ton of elastic and why go to waste but the problem is it doesnt stretch how can i unstiffen the elastic to be stretchy again??

[@Stalkmycloset]

Hello Dear, really sorry but I am not sure if you can use that elastic again. I don't think you can make it stretch again once it loose it's elasticity.

Hi, I’m trying to make a plaited scrunchie is there a way to sew elastic inside a plait please? X

Simply & sweet present

[@lisag-b7661]

Thank you so much.

[@glacialimpala]

Huh, odd how your machine doesn't break when you stretch the elastic without also holding it behind the foot. Because when you just pull the piece towards you you're effectively battling the feeder that wants to pull it away from you. I was taught that were supposed to hold both front and back and so make the stretch completely independent from the feeder. But that process is hard because when you pull front and back there's no third hand to guide the fabric correctly.

[@jilllazdane8861]

I thought the same thing. My machine will allow the elastic to slip if I don't pull at the other end.

[@veerez7304]

That’s the issue I’m having now. How does one correct this?

[@toysvoice]

Great video!

[@GinAkiraKun]

Can I ask a question tho... For the zig zag videos and also, seeing the elastic bands on- I guess the seems must be visible then? Unless it's basically black thread on black fabric?

[@rajaramrajput2059]

Very helpful

[@veerez7304]

I have a question. I’ve been having issues with the elastic and fabric moving smoothly or feeding when I try to sewing the elastic to my fabric. What are the settings I need to have my machine on so that it feeds smoothly? I hope this makes sense.

[@lionessprincessbear2174]

Isn’t it wonderful when you want to know something & the brilliant people are just too busy to read & answer your question? I myself am a beginner & do it by hand-as Iam too scared of the sewing machine!

[@ellieg9099]

I thought I was suffering from some kind of rare sewing machine phobia... Glad to hear someone else use the term "scared" to describe their feelings about it.

[@freedom-p4p]

I have a question about the Zigzag Elastic. Could you please share with us the length of elastic that should be used for a strapless top? You mentioned earlier that for skirts, the elastic should be 3 to 4 inches less than the length of the fabric. Can we use the same measurements for tops as well? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@Laurelyn2010]

This is such a great video! Thanks so much for the demonstrations. I finally understand how to better use my elastic!
