Bag Accessories perfect by ByAnnie! By Annie loves fold over elastic for use with Mesh fabric in her many bag patterns!
Fold-over elastic provides a decorative-type finish to many decorative apparels and crafts. We especially love using fold-over elastic for finishing the edges of mesh fabric for pockets in purses and bags. Perfect for finishing a neckline or wristbands on a special outfit, fold-over elastic also beautifully finishes the edges of diapers or diaper covers to securely fit baby. 5/8" wide
Directions for use:
1. Position the edges of fabric in center of fold-over elastic.
2. Fold elastic over raw edges and pin at beginning.
3. For smooth edges: Set the stitch to a straight stitch or a narrow, medium-length zig-zag. Carefully guide fabric and fold-over elastic under machine needle and stitch.
4. For gathered edge: Guide fabric and fold-over elastic with one hand as you stretch fold-over elastic tightly with other hand. Then straight or zig-zag stitch on edge of fold-over elastic, catching all layers.
