Thank you for making this video. I don't have a sewing machine but have always wanted to sew. Therefore, my only way to go is hand-sewing. So I'm very grateful for what you've done here. :)
I’m so happy I found this tutorial. I’ve been looking online on how to hand sew Elastic bands and this is the only great video I found. I also don’t have a sewing machine😭. This tutorial is so on point and I can follow along with your way on sewing elastic band. Thank you❤️
Thank you so much! I have been wondering how to replace worn out elastic for years. Finally came across your nice, short, and very well explained video.
I was planning on making a pillow out of a t-shirt and google recommended a zig zag stitch. I haven’t sewed anything before and this was very helpful! Thank you :3
cant believe this video doesnt have more likes!! this vid is amazing i couldnt get it down till i almost gave up and saw ur video if only u showed how to end the stitch lol
I'm incredibly "novicely" (new word lol) attempting to make a simple neck gaiter for a mask. Being you need stretchy material, I wasn't sure how to sew it! So, thank you for your help!
THANK YOU! i've been stuck on a project for so long, needing to hand sew elastic [on doll scale!]. i kept searching and, until your video, everyone kept using sewing machines with no mention of hand sewing, let alone which stitch to us! thank you again for such a straight forward video
Thank you for this! Simple and easy to understand.😊 The other videos I found were confusing or used a sewing machine.😅 Unfortunately I have no idea how to use mine so I'm sticking with hand sewing for now. I really need this for some garments I've been wanting to create. 😁 Also, if you had one on hand, you could use an embroidery hoop to stretch the fabric/elastic/anything that needs to be held taut. It can be a bit troublesome to get it in there at first but it does work!
Thank you so much, I dont own a sewing machine and I do Spider-man cosplays and theres a ripped stitch in the seam of the arm, now I can do something about it 😂
is this the zig zag stitch for finishing edges, or just for sewing elastic? this is the best video i’ve found, but it doesn’t look like other zig zag stitches i’ve seen. Thanks!
Ah, for the first time in my life, I know how to sew elastic to allow it to stretch! I've been doing it all wrong. I don't have a sewing machine and I do everything by hand.
It’s interesting because all these skirt videos seem to just want to fold over the cloth and make a tunnel for the elastic. I feel like I’m missing something, and maybe this is it
Sounds like they wanted you to sew a stretched elastic to the ends of the skirt so that it the fabric bunches up when the elastic is at its normal length.
Hi. It's a non stretch thread. I used a thick embroidery thread to make it easier to see in the video. You can do this stitch much smaller with thinner thread thread too.
I’m needing to take in a (one piece) swim suit from the sides, where it lays over my torso. Would I be able to use a back stitch? Or should I be using this type of stitch even though I’m not sewing an elastic band? Would really appreciate your help! =)
Thanks for showing me hand zig zag stitch as I may need this information as my old sewing machine don't have zig zag stitch as far as I know I got to look so may have to do via hand sewing as it's stretch fabric I'm working with
