THIS was one of the MOST INFORMATIVE and helpful videos I've seen yet. I will definitely be looking for more videos by you about sewing. I've been sewing (basic items) for decades and did not know there were so many different types of elastic!! I have never sewn with knits before, but can see how the right elastic would be crucial for efficiency usage. THANK YOU!! :)

Hi! Great information in there : it makes things much clearer, thank you! But I do have a question : swimwear elastic IS a braided elastic and we DO sew it with 2 passes of zigzag for swimsuit. But we should not, according to its characteristic ? Is there something different with that type of elastic that makes this possible ?

Is there a dull of thumb to determine the amount of length you can reduce your elastic for waist measurment before sewing it together (for casting) or sewing it to your garment?
@SeamworkVideo Жыл бұрын
There isn't a standard rule of thumb. It depends on how stretchy your elastic is and how tightly (or loosely) you want the waistband to fit. The best way to determine that is to simply put the elastic around your waist and figure out what feels comfortable to you.

Hi! What brand of elastic has the stretchiest elastic? The brands in the store seem to vary some are stretchier than others within the same brands. You mentioned you like to buy it in the store by the yard are you just going to local sewing stores or are chain sewing stores that do that too? Thx
@SeamworkVideo Жыл бұрын
I get whatever my local store has. Generally the variations in stretch are small enough that it doesn't greatly impact my project. If it is less stretchy than you want, just use a longer piece. Hope that helps!

Which elastic is used for making scrunchies?
@SeamworkVideo Жыл бұрын
You could use just about any elastic to make a scrunchie! You'll just want to think about how much the elastic you're using stretches, and use a piece that is a good length to hold your hair sufficiently. You might want to watch our scrunchie video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZW9o6aFgJWAf9U
