I’m soooo looking forward to your tension video. This has been my biggest issue when learning how to use my serger. Tension looks great up until I add elastic :( Thanks again for the sewing tips!
Thank so much! You inspired me to get an elastic foot, I tried it a couple of times and gave up on it. Now I want to try again! Haha practice makes perfect!
Great work on creating a very informative video. Loved that you shared that not all elastic feet fit any machine. Yes, most accessory feet are engineered for the specific models of sewing machines. Keep up the great work. We keep learning, being inspired by you. :)
Hi! Can you post a video regarding how to take in a swimsuit which is too large? I bought two bathing suits which are too big for me and I would love to learn the basics of where to cut and re-sew in order to fit it to my body so I can wear them again! Thank you :)
Could you recommend another elastic foot? The one linked is now unavailable! Specifically, do you have any recommendations for one that fits a regular sewing machine? I bought the Avery top pattern and I’m looking forward to making my first swimsuit!
I looked high and low and can not find one with this adjustable roller tension thing they are all just slide tension. It is the mystery. I did see one for Juki.
Ugh I cannot find an elastic foot for my machine ANYWHERE; I have a Janome new home and can only find one for the new home serger OR for a different model Janome machine :/
Thank you for such a detailed video! Question, is there a difference between an elastic foot and an elastic gathering foot? Or are they different names for the same thing?
What brands of elasticator feet have the features you showed or talked about? I am looking on Amazon and the feet I see do NOT have the features you were talking about, as far as I can tell.
Hi I have try out many ways and also change my needle But I always have this problem There’s is one needle that Miss long stitch to capture the looper Can you help me or someone help me for this problem ?
My elastic foot doesn't have the size quage. So it definitely moves and makes it a bit harder. My serger is old and luckily a store found a foot haha. I have white superlock serger. But my elastic won't stay put.
Hello Kati, Thank you for your video. One question, do you use The differential on the right of your machine? Or do you let all the time at the position N? Thank you Amanda
I don't have an elastic foot but am finding my serger leaves the elastic and fabric stretched out once sewn. I've tried altering the presser foot pressure and tension but it's still stretching the elastic. Do you think an elastic foot would solved this problem?

Coming soon!
This was useful. Do you have tips for elastic application on other parts of the swimsuit (aside from straps) that require tension?

It's so true! Best of luck :)

Thank you Susan! You've been such an amazing support from the beginning and your feedback means the world to me.
Thank you so much, you have just helped me solve two of most annoying my serge issues. Definitely going to get that elastic foot.
It's well worth it!
Thank you for this! I just received my elastic foot and I can’t wait to use it.
Hope you like it! It's worth the work to get it right!
very helpful and appreciated.
how do you keep a cat from playing with the elastic while sewing?
where can I get this elastic foot?

Great idea!
I agree my bathing suits sag in butt because I’m small in the back and would love to know how to alter them 😂
Very helpful. Thank You! However, how does the elastic work if there is no tension on it to hold the fabric snugged to your body?? Thank you
For swim wear it should stretch with the insertion of the body..
Thank you so much you answered my question
Happy to help!
thankyou
Where did you get the elastic foot?
So this foot is for a serger only or can it be used on sewing machine ?
is there an elastic foot for a regular mahcine as well? I don't have a serger yet
Thanks for this video! Do you use the elasticator when sewing in the round? Any tips?
Could you recommend another elastic foot? The one linked is now unavailable! Specifically, do you have any recommendations for one that fits a regular sewing machine? I bought the Avery top pattern and I’m looking forward to making my first swimsuit!

Well said.
Where can I buy that foot to put elastic? Thanks
Ugh I cannot find an elastic foot for my machine ANYWHERE; I have a Janome new home and can only find one for the new home serger OR for a different model Janome machine :/
Where can I get it?!
Thank you for such a detailed video! Question, is there a difference between an elastic foot and an elastic gathering foot? Or are they different names for the same thing?
Same thing! I just don’t use the gathering function, I use it more like a guide
Can you use the foot for clear elastic as well ?
Love your videos 😉
Yes you can!
Sooo useful please teach me more🥺😭😭
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it! Many more to come :)
Do you have a cover stitch machine as well or do you just use a twin needle on the regular sewing machine
What brands of elasticator feet have the features you showed or talked about? I am looking on Amazon and the feet I see do NOT have the features you were talking about, as far as I can tell.
Hi I have try out many ways and also change my needle
But I always have this problem
There’s is one needle that Miss long stitch to capture the looper
Can you help me or someone help me for this problem ?
Hi. I’m wondering are you using a serger and sewing machine in one??
How would this work with curves etc
My elastic foot doesn't have the size quage. So it definitely moves and makes it a bit harder. My serger is old and luckily a store found a foot haha. I have white superlock serger. But my elastic won't stay put.
i have a similar machine, about to try my elastic foot but it also doesn't have a size guage.
Is that a flatlock seam or overlock ?
I do not like to shop at esty. It is a bait and switch site. "sold by the yard $4.99" ..."$4.99 1/4 yard". Everything is over priced there.
where can i buy this foot?
Do you have a link to where you got your elastic foot from? Thanks!
I got mine off eBay so I can't link it! But definitely try eBay if you have a Babylock, there's some dealers on there that sell Babylock products
Hello Kati,
Thank you for your video. One question, do you use The differential on the right of your machine? Or do you let all the time at the position N?
Thank you

I keep it at normal the whole time, but it's a great tool if you're needing to adjust your settings!
are elastic foots only for sergers machines or can it be used for normal sewing machines too?
There are ones for regular machines too!
I don't have an elastic foot but am finding my serger leaves the elastic and fabric stretched out once sewn. I've tried altering the presser foot pressure and tension but it's still stretching the elastic. Do you think an elastic foot would solved this problem?
If you go to my elastic playlist, go to part 3 in the elastic series and I show you show to counteract this problem! An elastic foot might help too
Hi, what type of elastic do you use for swimwear ? Rubber, woven or clear ?x
Just posted a video answering this! ua-cam.com/video/DjsK_Q0YiRw/v-deo.html
"this texture on it" knurling I just want to appear smart.
do you have your knife on whenever using the elastic foot?
I do, but I don't cut anything off so in theory I could keep it down!
what brand of serger machine do you use
Mine is a Babylock!
