You’ve got a ton of knowhow. Moreover, you’re a great teacher. Through your video I “salvaged” a couple pair of long underwear by sewing in a new elastic waist. I’m a guy who inherited a sewing machine from my mom and began experimenting with it. Great machine. It’s similar to using woodworking tools only the medium is different--wood vs. fabric. Thanks for your expertise.
Excellent job and excellent explanation. Will try that on my half slip with a loose elastic now. Thanks so much 🥰 love that u hv the same machine I hv too 👍🏻
Also, I recently threw away a swimsuit where the leg elastics had given up. I had thought at the time that I should use it as a learning experience to see if I could just sew an elastic on top, just like you've done here. I don't remember why I decided it would be too challenging. Could you please do a video on it?
Thank you
My issue is always wanting to remove the elastic from waistbands. Do you have any tricks for removing elastic that is sewn in like this?
Would have preferred to see the process
Thank you !
I liked this video. I saw enough of the process to know what to do.
Thank you! I wish I could get the camera closer to the sewing machine. I hope to figure that out one day for future videos! Thank you for watching!
Do you think you've gotten a feel for how much to stretch the elastic through experience? I wonder if I should pin it at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock first, since I don't really have that feel yet.
Yes, I think you are right! Pinning it would probably help me to be more accurate, too! :)
Thanks for sharing your sewing talents on this video. I would like to fix a pair of leggings but I don't have a machine. Not sure I will have the patience 😢to hand stitch all the way around.
Alot off camera when doing it so not that helpful if can't see it
Isn’t that going to be scratchy against the skin, having the elastic exposed like that?
It doesn’t really bother me, but it might bother people with sensitive skin. You can also buy soft waistband elastic that feels a little better than the regular stuff. I hope that helps!
Any special settings needed?
Nope! I just use a regular straight stitch of about 3-3.5 stitch length. Hope that helps!
2:22 minutes for the start.
Talk too much
Agreed. Waffle waffle
