We recommend the needle style 2045 when

sewing on regular elastic.

• Fit elastic for desired snugness at waistline,

allowing 2.5 cm (1 inch) 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

garment. Then pin together at correspond

ing points, pinning elastic over right side of

fabric, top edges even.

• Sew a few straight stitches to anchor elastic

to fabric.

• Select honeycomb. Plain zig-zag, and multi

stitch zig-zag are also effective for replacing
lingerie elastic.

• Then hold elastic and garment edge taut as

you stitch so that it will remain stretchable
after stitching is completed.
