■ Sewing elastic
Pin the elastic tape to the wrong side of

the fabric.
As you sew, stretch the elastic in front of

knitted fabrics. If you are using nylon thread, the
stitch will not be visible.
Put the edge of the two pieces of fabric

together and center them under the
presser foot.
Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch.
