How to choose the right clothing elastics?

Choosing the right clothing elastics is essential to ensure comfort, support, and durability in your creations. Depending on the type of garment—skirt, trousers, lingerie, or sportswear—choose an elastic with the appropriate stretch, a pleasant feel, and resistance to wear.

Woven elastics provide good support, while knitted elastics are more flexible. Also consider the width and flexibility according to the intended use. Our clothing elastics are selected to meet the requirements of sewists, from the simplest to the most technical project.

How to sew elastic easily?

Sewing elastic may seem complex, but with the right techniques, it's easy. Follow these steps to achieve perfect finishes:

1. You need to measure and cut the elastic according to the desired length, depending on your project.
2. Position the elastic directly on the fabric, stretching it slightly to ensure optimal support. You can temporarily secure it with pins.
3. Use a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine, which will allow the elastic to retain its full flexibility and ensure an impeccable finish, even after repeated use.
4. Check the thread tension and adjust it if necessary to avoid sewing problems.
5. For fine or stretchy fabrics such as jersey, cotton, or viscose, use a suitable specialized needle, such as a stretch needle, to avoid damaging the fabric.

Use this technique to sew gathers, smocking, or decorative elastic bands. It is perfect for lingerie or children's clothing projects.
