Elastic Fold Over 2 Yd Pack By Annie

NOTE: Our fold-over elastic is latex-free and contains spandex. Please note that each unit ordered is for a pre-cut and packaged piece that is 2 yards long.

Fold-over elastic provides a decorative finish to apparel, crafts, hairbands, and more!

The elastic is shiny on one side and matte on the other to allow for flexibility in aesthetics and is creased along the center for easier folding and sewing.

We especially love using fold-over elastic for finishing the edges of mesh fabric for pockets in purses and bags.

Not working with mesh? Fold-over elastic is perfect for finishing a neckline or wristband on a special outfit. It also beautifully finishes the edges of diapers or diaper covers to fit your special baby securely.

20mm wide, nylon.

Directions for use:

1. Choose the side that matches best. One side of the fold-over elastic is extra shiny for a fashionable finish. The other side features a matte finish for a more subtle finish.

2. Position the edges of the fabric in the center of the fold-over elastic.

3. Fold elastic over raw edges and pin at the beginning.

4. For smooth edges: Set the stitch to a straight stitch or a narrow, medium-length zig-zag. Carefully guide the fabric and fold-over elastic under the machine needle and stitch.

5. For gathered edge: Guide fabric and fold-over elastic with one hand as you stretch the fold-over elastic tightly with the other hand. Then straight or zig-zag stitch on the edge of the fold-over elastic, catching all layers.

Care and instructions:

Machine wash warm, do not bleach. Tumble dry at medium heat.
