Sewing stretch fabrics and elastic tape
UTILITY STITCHES
When elastic tape is attached to the cuff or waist of a piece of
clothing, the finished dimensions will be that of the stretched
elastic tape. Therefore, it is necessary that a suitable length of
the elastic tape be used.
Using the all purpose foot
Pin the elastic tape to the wrong side of fabric at a few points to make
sure that the tape is uniformly positioned on the fabric.
- Pin (1)
- Elastic tape (2)
- Wrong side (3)
Sew the elastic tape to the fabric while stretching the tape so that it
is the same length as the fabric.
While pulling the fabric behind the presser foot with your left hand,
pull the fabric at the pin nearest the front of the presser foot with your
right hand.
Note:
When sewing, be sure that the needle does not touch any pins,
otherwise the needle may bend or break.
