This Korbond Elastic is designed for sewers and crafters needing a durable, stable elastic for various projects. Its key benefit is its woven construction which maintains width when stretched, making it ideal for waistbands, cuffs, and heavier fabrics, though it may be too wide for very delicate or narrow applications.

Woven elastic maintains its width when stretched, providing better stability and structure compared to knit or braided elastics which can narrow significantly.
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.
You can sew it directly onto the fabric edge, or create a fabric casing and insert the elastic through it using a safety pin.
It's ideal for waistbands on trousers, skirts, shorts, pajama bottoms, cuffs on sleeves or trousers, and sturdy craft applications like bags or headbands.
While theoretically possible, dyeing woven elastic can be inconsistent and may affect its stretch properties. It's generally best used as is.
The roll contains 2 meters (approximately 2.2 yards) of elastic.
It's recommended to wash your hands before handling the white elastic to prevent transferring any oils or dirt that could mark the surface.
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.
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.
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.
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.
