FAQs

What is the main advantage of woven elastic over other types?

Woven elastic maintains its width when stretched, providing better stability and structure compared to knit or braided elastics which can narrow significantly.

Can this elastic be used for face masks?

Yes, it can be used for face masks. You can cut it to size for ear loops or ties, although 12mm might be wider than typically used for ear loops; consider cutting it narrower or using it for ties.

How do I attach this elastic to a garment?

You can sew it directly onto the fabric edge, or create a fabric casing and insert the elastic through it using a safety pin.

What projects is this 12mm elastic best suited for?

It's ideal for waistbands on trousers, skirts, shorts, pajama bottoms, cuffs on sleeves or trousers, and sturdy craft applications like bags or headbands.

Can I dye this white elastic?

While theoretically possible, dyeing woven elastic can be inconsistent and may affect its stretch properties. It's generally best used as is.

What is the length of the elastic on the roll?

The roll contains 2 meters (approximately 2.2 yards) of elastic.

How should I handle the white elastic to keep it clean?

It's recommended to wash your hands before handling the white elastic to prevent transferring any oils or dirt that could mark the surface.

Troubleshooting

Elastic losing stretch over time

Ensure the finished garment or item is cared for according to its fabric instructions, avoiding excessive heat or harsh chemicals that can degrade elastic fibers. Store items made with elastic away from direct sunlight.

Elastic appearing too wide for the project

Consider using this elastic for applications where its width is beneficial, such as waistbands or sturdy cuffs. For narrower applications, consider a thinner variant of Korbond elastic.

Elastic snapping during sewing

Ensure your sewing machine needle is appropriate for the fabric and elastic. Avoid stretching the elastic excessively while sewing unless the design requires it. Use a stitch suitable for knits or stretch fabrics.

  • Strong and structured, suitable for demanding applications.
  • Versatile for garment making, crafts, and home décor.
  • White color provides a clean finish on lighter fabrics.
  • Can be sewn directly or used in a casing.

Cons

  • May be too wide for very fine or narrow applications.
  • Limited to one color (white) in this specific variant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This elastic is ready to use straight from the roll. Simply measure and cut the desired length using sharp scissors. It can be sewn directly onto fabric using a standard sewing machine with an appropriate needle for your fabric type. For a cleaner finish or removable elastic, it can be inserted into a pre-made casing.

Compatibility:

Korbond Elastic is compatible with a wide range of fabrics, from light cottons to heavier denims and upholstery materials. It is best suited for projects where a wider elastic band is required or desired.

Care:

While the elastic itself is durable, its care depends on the finished product. Generally, it can withstand regular machine washing and drying according to the fabric care instructions. Avoid using bleach on white elastic to maintain its color. It is recommended to wash hands before handling the white elastic to prevent accidental marking or staining.
