Fold over elastic provides a decorative finish to many decorative apparels and crafts.
Use fold over elastic for finishing the edges of mesh fabric for pockets in purses and bags - you'll love it!
Perfect for finishing a neckline or wristbands on a special outfit, fold over elastic also beautifully finishes the edges of diapers or diaper covers to securely fit baby.
Please note that each unit ordered is for a pre-cut and packaged piece that is 2 yards long.
Directions for use: 1. Choose the side that matches best. One side of fold-over elastic is extra shiny for a fashion finish. The other side features a matte finish for a more subtle finish. 2. Position the edges of fabric in center of fold-over elastic. 3. Fold elastic over raw edges and pin at beginning. 4. For smooth edges: Set the stitch to a straight stitch or a narrow, medium-length zig-zag. Carefully guide fabric and fold-over elastic under machine needle and stitch. 5. For gathered edge: Guide fabric and fold-over elastic with one hand as you stretch fold-over elastic tightly with other hand. Then straight or zig-zag stitch on edge of fold-over elastic, catching all layers.
Care and instructions: Machine wash warm, do not bleach. Tumble dry at medium heat.
