How to Sew in Elastic using the Sequins N Ribbon foot by Creative Feet

[xgelytotx]

another great video, do you sell the foot shown?

If the machine won't allow you to adjust the length o. The multioke zig zag stitch, use the standard zig zag stitch instead. Refer to your sewing machine handbook for stitch length settings.

Typing from a cell with my eyesight is challenging.... I meant multiple not multioke lol. @cr8vgurl

I've been wondering.....if I try this with 1 inch braided elastic, will it ruin the stretch? I've heard rumors that it will.

@yaoigirl418

There are some elastics that are not as good as others.... I've never had a problem with any elastic. I use the correct sewing machine needle 90/14 Stretch and then use a longer stitch length than most try.... we are also using a zig zag stitch so tiny that you can't tell it is.

Use a .5 or 1/2 wide with the longest length stitch you can and then it will be fine. Some people don't stretch the elastic then sew through it and then the elastic can't stretch without breaking thread.

I love your sewing machine! it looks like decoupage! Did you buy it like that???

[cr8vgurl]

@TheyDontSee - It is actually hand painted and I will be creating an instructional DVD on how to paint yours - scheduled release Fall of 2010

[diveinutila]

Wow! Thanks! Yes the sound quality isn't great, but I've learned about how to sew in elastic in 1 minute now! And I want one of those feet!

Excellent elastic video. She covers all the elements. Much better than Expert Village.

[sayabyvictoriaruiz]

Do you have these for industrial sewing machines like brother o juki?

[cr8vgurl]

Creative Feet fit also fit Industrial machines - Your Industrial machine must attach the foot on the left side of the machine and use High Shank feet. This only applies to the Industrial machines as our feet also come with all other shanks to fit all machines. The elastic technique shown uses the multiple zigzag stitch in the first step - Your industrial machine can't do that but you can use a standard zigzag stitch instead. Please feel free to call me for further assistance (800) 776-6938 Clare
