To Attach Waistline Elastic
e Fit elastic for desired snugness at waistline,
allowing 1 inch (2.5cm) for joining. Lap
ends to form a band and straight stitch
together as shown using a ball point needle.
• Divide elastic band into four equal segments
and mark with pins. Do the same to the gar­
ment. Then pin together at corresponding
points, pinning elastic over right side of
fabric, top edges even.
• Sew a few straight stitches to anchor elastic
to fabric.
• Select honeycomb.
• Then hold elastic and garment edge taut as
you stitch so that it will remain stretchable
after stitching is completed.
CAUTION: Do not pull the fabric while you
are stitching as this m ay deflect the needle,
causing it to break.
