Thank you for this! I just received my elastic foot and I can’t wait to use it.

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Hope you like it! It's worth the work to get it right!

@mariamanos7337 2 года назад

Thank you so much, you have just helped me solve two of most annoying my serge issues. Definitely going to get that elastic foot.

@EdgewaterAve 2 года назад

It's well worth it!

@chrisy.8789 3 года назад

I’m soooo looking forward to your tension video. This has been my biggest issue when learning how to use my serger. Tension looks great up until I add elastic :( Thanks again for the sewing tips!

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Coming soon!

Great work on creating a very informative video. Loved that you shared that not all elastic feet fit any machine. Yes, most accessory feet are engineered for the specific models of sewing machines. Keep up the great work. We keep learning, being inspired by you. :)

Thank you Susan! You've been such an amazing support from the beginning and your feedback means the world to me.

@breesmail07 3 года назад

Thank so much! You inspired me to get an elastic foot, I tried it a couple of times and gave up on it. Now I want to try again! Haha practice makes perfect!

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

It's so true! Best of luck :)

@christinelee6477 3 года назад

This was useful. Do you have tips for elastic application on other parts of the swimsuit (aside from straps) that require tension?

@lisamgorry 2 года назад

Thanks for this video! Do you use the elasticator when sewing in the round? Any tips?

@jacquelinesown6675 3 года назад

Thank you so much you answered my question

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Happy to help!

@rampanttricky17 4 месяца назад

very helpful and appreciated. how do you keep a cat from playing with the elastic while sewing?

@annielia1920 3 года назад

Hi. I’m wondering are you using a serger and sewing machine in one??

@corirodriquez2889 Год назад

You have a gift to teach❤ your videos are all so wonderful 👗🪡🧵

@yelybabilonia693 3 года назад

Where can I buy that foot to put elastic? Thanks

@Fashmine 3 года назад

where can I get this elastic foot?

@VogueISHable Год назад

Do you have a cover stitch machine as well or do you just use a twin needle on the regular sewing machine

@4MeredithGrey 3 года назад

Where did you get the elastic foot?

@debradalton5755 2 года назад

What brands of elasticator feet have the features you showed or talked about? I am looking on Amazon and the feet I see do NOT have the features you were talking about, as far as I can tell.

@paigewesoloski1812 Месяц назад

is there an elastic foot for a regular mahcine as well? I don't have a serger yet

@Mel-dw2fi 2 года назад

Well said.

@Liguorienne 3 года назад

Hi I have try out many ways and also change my needle But I always have this problem There’s is one needle that Miss long stitch to capture the looper Can you help me or someone help me for this problem ?

@amandine5180 2 года назад

Hello Kati, Thank you for your video. One question, do you use The differential on the right of your machine? Or do you let all the time at the position N? Thank you Amanda

@EdgewaterAve 2 года назад

I keep it at normal the whole time, but it's a great tool if you're needing to adjust your settings!

@lisah9237 2 года назад

How would this work with curves etc

@rebeccawhitley4973 Год назад

Thank you for such a detailed video! Question, is there a difference between an elastic foot and an elastic gathering foot? Or are they different names for the same thing?

@EdgewaterAve Год назад

Same thing! I just don’t use the gathering function, I use it more like a guide

@bri_anna4605 4 месяца назад

Where can I get it?!

@leahstratton5636 2 года назад

Could you recommend another elastic foot? The one linked is now unavailable! Specifically, do you have any recommendations for one that fits a regular sewing machine? I bought the Avery top pattern and I’m looking forward to making my first swimsuit!

@renderuthis Год назад

I looked high and low and can not find one with this adjustable roller tension thing they are all just slide tension. It is the mystery. I did see one for Juki.

@naidacruz742 2 года назад

where can i buy this foot?

@kelliedelka 3 года назад

My elastic foot doesn't have the size quage. So it definitely moves and makes it a bit harder. My serger is old and luckily a store found a foot haha. I have white superlock serger. But my elastic won't stay put.

@haileylilliott9066 2 года назад

i have a similar machine, about to try my elastic foot but it also doesn't have a size guage.

@sncstudiofashion4475 2 года назад

Is that a flatlock seam or overlock ?

@nrr3186 3 месяца назад

Very helpful. Thank You! However, how does the elastic work if there is no tension on it to hold the fabric snugged to your body?? Thank you

@Just-a-girl 3 месяца назад

For swim wear it should stretch with the insertion of the body..

@rosac8168 Месяц назад

So this foot is for a serger only or can it be used on sewing machine ?

@nancymckercher9269 2 года назад

Can you use the foot for clear elastic as well ? Love your videos 😉

@EdgewaterAve 2 года назад

Yes you can!

@madyleighdecker Год назад

Ugh I cannot find an elastic foot for my machine ANYWHERE; I have a Janome new home and can only find one for the new home serger OR for a different model Janome machine :/

@lorenabueno8620 3 года назад

Sooo useful please teach me more🥺😭😭

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it! Many more to come :)

@averybourbonnais2229 3 года назад

Hi! Can you post a video regarding how to take in a swimsuit which is too large? I bought two bathing suits which are too big for me and I would love to learn the basics of where to cut and re-sew in order to fit it to my body so I can wear them again! Thank you :)

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Great idea!

@rosac8168 Месяц назад

I agree my bathing suits sag in butt because I’m small in the back and would love to know how to alter them 😂

@giannapignatello9130 2 года назад

Do you have a link to where you got your elastic foot from? Thanks!

@EdgewaterAve 2 года назад

I got mine off eBay so I can't link it! But definitely try eBay if you have a Babylock, there's some dealers on there that sell Babylock products

@chanaiyabrown2187 3 года назад

Hi, what type of elastic do you use for swimwear ? Rubber, woven or clear ?x

@EdgewaterAve 3 года назад

Just posted a video answering this! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DjsK_Q0YiRw.html

@luciebillingsley7753 Год назад

I don't have an elastic foot but am finding my serger leaves the elastic and fabric stretched out once sewn. I've tried altering the presser foot pressure and tension but it's still stretching the elastic. Do you think an elastic foot would solved this problem?

@EdgewaterAve Год назад

If you go to my elastic playlist, go to part 3 in the elastic series and I show you show to counteract this problem! An elastic foot might help too
