Troubleshooting
Elastic losing stretch after washing
Ensure you are washing within the 40°C limit and avoid using chlorine bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting.
Sewing machine skipping stitches on elastic
Use a ballpoint or stretch needle. A zig-zag or multi-stitch zig-zag setting on your machine is recommended for sewing elastic.
Elastic feels too stiff for a delicate garment
Consider using a casing method rather than sewing directly onto the fabric, or use a thinner elastic if available for very lightweight items. This 38mm width is best suited for medium to heavy weight fabrics.
