Attaching Elastic - Singer CG-550 Workbook

Attaching Elastic

Elastic can be applied directly to the fabric, such as when making lingerie.
If the elastic is ⅜" wide or less, the elastic can be placed into the General
Purpose Foot's opening, making it easier to evenly stretch the elastic while
sewing.
