• Trim all four edges of the sample fabric before beginning.
• Select the Universal Stitch #15; adjust width to clear the elastic.
• Measure and mark the elastic for amount needed. Allow a 2" tail at both ends.
• Draw a line on the wrong side of the fabric where the elastic is to go (this could be the line on a
pattern where a casing is suggested).
• Place the elastic over the line and under the foot and needle - sew a few straight stitches backward
and forward to secure the elastic.
• Stretch the elastic gently to give the fullness desired.
• When you reach the other end, secure in the same manner as the beginning.
• Even out the gathers.
