The Prym Sparkle Metallic Lurex Elastic in Rose Gold is designed for crafters and designers seeking a decorative and functional elastic for apparel and accessories. Its key benefit is adding a subtle metallic shimmer and elegant rose gold hue to projects, while a potential caveat is its slightly stiffer feel compared to standard elastic, requiring careful handling with sewing machines.

Yes, you can use it in a serger. It is recommended to use a serger-specific needle and test your settings on a scrap piece first to ensure smooth operation and prevent thread breakage.
While the exact percentage can vary, this elastic offers good stretch and recovery suitable for most apparel and accessory applications. It is designed to stretch comfortably and return to its original shape.
The metallic finish is durable but can be affected by excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Hand washing and avoiding high heat drying will help maintain its luster.
We do not recommend dyeing this elastic, as the metallic lurex threads may not take dye evenly, and the process could damage the elastic's integrity or finish.
The main difference is the inclusion of shimmering metallic lurex threads woven into the elastic, providing a decorative sparkle and a distinctive rose gold color, unlike plain, non-metallic elastic.
Use a new, sharp universal needle (size 80/12 or 90/14). Test and adjust machine tension and stitch length on a scrap piece of elastic. Ensure the bobbin is wound correctly.
Ensure you are hand washing in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Do not machine dry on high heat; lay flat or hang to dry.
When sewing, ensure the right side of the elastic faces away from delicate fabrics if possible, or use a pressing cloth. Handle with care when applying to fine materials.
This elastic is ready to use straight from the packaging. It is compatible with most standard sewing machines. When sewing, it's recommended to use a universal needle size 80/12 or 90/14, and to test stitch settings on a scrap piece of fabric first, as metallic threads can sometimes require slightly different tension or stitch length. Hand washing in cold water with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the metallic finish. Avoid bleach and high heat drying. Iron on a low setting, preferably on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth, avoiding direct contact with the metallic threads.
