Hi! I’m Jennifer on behalf of expertvillage.com. A Perfect Fit Alterations, 102 S. Main Street,
Burleson, Texas, 817-447-3522. In this clip we’re going to talk a little about elastic.
Different types of elastic come in different widths. This that we have here is a wash and
wear polyester ribbed non-roll elastic, on the back of the package it will tell you what
the elastic is made out of, how to care for it, how to sew it in and the different lengths
that you will need. This elastic here is ¾ inch elastic, it’s a non-roll elastic, when
you put it in the waistband you can tack it down in several places and it won’t roll
and warp after you’ve washed it. This one here is a little bit narrower, you might use
this on a back of a dress several, several rolls at a time to make designs and things
of that nature on a back of a dress to draw in the dress. This would be used on a waistband
on a skirt, this is also a non-rolls elastic and it comes in the package of about a yard,
a little bit over a yard, it’s a pretty heavy duty elastic.
