Here is a tip that I use all the time. I hate threading elastic through a casing. solution: I pin ,with a safety pin, to the back of the pattern. then I fold the elastic over the elastic and sew the casing with the elastic inside. ! You do have to be careful not to catch the elastic while sewing. If you do u will just have to rip out a small section and release the elastic. It saves so much time. I also buy 10 yards of the elastic at a time.when Jo-ann’s notion wall is on sale. I don’t cut it until it is in the casing and I try it on and adjust the elastic.. this way I never have a lot of little pieces of elastic that I don’t know what to do with!
Great tips Kathleen! Thanks so much for sharing.
