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.
When sewing, be sure that the needle does
not touch any pins, otherwise the needle
may bend or break.
