Sew the elastic tape to the fabric while
stretching the tape in order it has the

While pulling the fabric behind the
presser foot with your left hand, pull the
fabric at the pin nearest the front of the
presser foot with your right hand.
Please Note:
When sewing, be sure that the needle
does not touch any pins otherwise the
needle may bend or break.
