It is forever confusing to me I’m self taught and moving into working with stretch...it looks like your stretching the fabric as well as the elastic.. like what is being stretched what if your don’t stretch and just apply ? I used a pointelle cotton and a picot elastic I tired just stretching the Elastic but barely and it came out too tight.. I also am not pre cutting the elastic... any tips it’s so hard to tell when an experienced person is doing it y’all make it look so easy when it is a tricky thing ... idk what to do either move up a size in my pattern or try again and not pull the elastic at all.... I should add when I try on before applying the elastic it fits perfectly ... what’s too tight is the leg holes the waist is fine
Thanks for the video. I have a couple of very cute booty boy shorts that i just tried on and didn't like the fit so maybe this will work for me. If not then ill probably add lace or something for it to work . I really like them but i dont want to wear them the way they are because i dont want to taste cotton material every time i walk 😅🤣. Just saying
Just discovered your videos they are awesome extremely well explained thank you so much!!!
You made that so simple. I am going to try it, may have soved my problems with the tiny electric
This was a nylon tricot lycra with a shiny finish.
You are a godsend! I’m actually still waiting on your video on sewing much larger holes! A new subbie you’ve got out of me!
Amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very neat . Thank you for showing that.😢
Thanks for watching!
Do you use normal thread or a specialty thread?
Polyester thread, Guttermann or Mettler
Do you have your knife off on the serger so it doesn't cut elastic?
No, I just don't have the elastic under the knife.

What's the name of the type of fabric??
spandex, or lycra
🤗🤗🥰🥰💕💕
It sure looks like you are stretching the green fabric as you stitch.
Yes, you stretch the elastic a bit to match up with the spandex, then you stretch everything together.
