Fold-Over Elastic 2yard Tahiti Purple

The Passion for Quilting fold-over elastic is designed to help quilters create professional-looking seams and finishes in their quilts. It comes in various widths and colors to match a wide range of fabric collections. For use, cut the desired width of fold-over elastic to fit the raw edges of your quilt top or binding. Position the edges of your fabric in the center of the fold-over elastic, aligning them with the folded edge of the elastic. Fold the elastic over the raw edges and pin at the beginning, making sure to secure it firmly to prevent slippage during sewing. Sew a straight stitch or narrow zig-zag along the folded edge of the elastic, carefully guiding your fabric and fold-over elastic under your machine needle as you sew. For a gathered edge, stretch the fold-over elastic tightly with one hand while guiding your fabric and fold-over elastic with the other hand, then sew a straight or zig-zag stitch along the edge of the fold-over elastic, catching all layers. When caring for your finished quilt, wash it in warm water on a machine cycle, without bleach. To preserve its appearance, tumble dry at medium heat. This product is perfect for quilters who value high-quality materials and seek easy-to-follow instructions to achieve professional-looking results in their quilts.
