Elastic attaching

When elastic tape is attached to the cuff or waist of a piece of
clothing, the finished dimensions will be that of the stretched
elastic tape. Therefore, it is necessary that a suitable length of
the elastic tape be used.
a Pin the elastic tape to the wrong side of the
fabric.
Pin the elastic tape to the fabric at a few points to
make sure that the tape is uniformly positioned
on the fabric.
b Attach zigzag foot "J".
c Select a stitch.
d 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.
CAUTION
● When sewing, be sure that the needle does not touch
any pins, otherwise the needle may bend or break.
