Fantastic, like everyone is saying, this is EXACTLY what I needed (no. 2 way to fix a ruffled sleeve on a vintage dress that was sewn with this method). I decided to stay for the rest, because I wanna know the other methods too for diff. things. Love when you show what they're used for, as well. Excellent teacher. :)

Thanks, I was searching for one of the style. Finally I got it. God bless u all

Thank you. I’ve only used elastic once and it was such a mess I’ve avoided it since unless it’s just threaded through. I’ve saved this to rewatch when I need it.

Crazy i was looking for ways to “smock” by handstitch! Never found a video. But i did this exact method and am almost done with my project, now i see this video😅😅

This was so helpful oh my goodness

Very nice

. so you stretch the elastic as you sew it with the clothes . o waw . thank you.

Thank you. Very helpful. Question though ; is it ok to buy thicker elastic and cut down to smaller sizes or do you recommend having both thin and thick. Basically im afraid ill have issues sewing 1/4 inch cause its so thin. Are there instances where you really need a inch thick elastic? Or do you think 1/4 inch is usually good

This was just what I was looking for .very useful...thank you x

very very useful video. very clear and thank you.

This was so helpfull for me once more i say thank u so much

Thanks for sharing... 'very helpful'

Its really awesome... very easy to understand.. thank uu💜💜💜

Huh, odd how your machine doesn't break when you stretch the elastic without also holding it behind the foot. Because when you just pull the piece towards you you're effectively battling the feeder that wants to pull it away from you. I was taught that were supposed to hold both front and back and so make the stretch completely independent from the feeder. But that process is hard because when you pull front and back there's no third hand to guide the fabric correctly.

What machine do you have? Looks like it works great. This was amazing video. I am refreshing my skills after many long years and this was super helpful.

superb fantastic thanks

This is gold. Thank you!

This is such a great video! Thanks so much for the demonstrations. I finally understand how to better use my elastic!

Very nice and useful video

What if I want it in the middle of the sleeve instead of at the cuff

Simply & sweet present

Can I ask a question tho... For the zig zag videos and also, seeing the elastic bands on- I guess the seems must be visible then? Unless it's basically black thread on black fabric?

I have a question about the Zigzag Elastic. Could you please share with us the length of elastic that should be used for a strapless top? You mentioned earlier that for skirts, the elastic should be 3 to 4 inches less than the length of the fabric. Can we use the same measurements for tops as well? Thank you in advance for your answer.

thank you!

Really helpful thanks

Very helpful

very nice..

Your awesome 👏

Thanks for the video!!
