Sewing stretch fabrics and elastic tape
When elastic tape is attached to the cuff or waist of a piece of clothing, the finished dimensions

Sew the elastic tape to the fabric while
stretching the tape so that it is the same
length as the fabric.
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.
Note:
When sewing, be sure that the needle does
not touch any pins, otherwise the needle may
bend or break.
