Thank you! this seems tryly very easy. I recently made my first sewing project - a skirt with an elasticated back , and the fabric on the waistband bunches up in a very ugly way. I'll definitely give this a shot!

Yea, it’s definitely very intimidating at first, but actually very simple! Top stitch ring elastic waistbands makes them lay so much nicer😍

do you need elastic thread for this? Thanks! great vid

[@Sewbexx]

Nope! You can use just basic all purpose type threads!

Do you have a link to the magnetic sewing gage you used?

Thank you ma, pls if I pull it before topstitch will it still give me the accurate measurements for the waist?

[@Sewbexx]

Yes, it should! I always recommend to prestretch all elastic before cutting to help make sure the elastic will stay the same length through the construction of the garment!

[@Sewbexx]

Yes! Before cutting/measuring your elastic you will want to give a couple stretches, making sure to stretch it to the max! This will help make sure your elastic doesn’t get stretched out after cutting and sewing!
