We especially love using fold-over elastic to finish the mesh fabric's edges for pockets in purses and bags. Not working with mesh? Fold-over elastic is perfect for completing a neckline or wristband on a particular 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 fold-over elastic is extra shiny for a fashion finish. The other side features a matte finish for a more subtle finish.
2. Position the edges of the fabric in the centre 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 a gathered edge, Guide the 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 the edge of the fold-over elastic, catching all layers.
