Description
An elastic tape holds fullness where a firm seam would cut in. Made in the size 1 m × 30 mm. Supplied as 1 m. Made from 78 % polyester, 22 % Elastodien.
Store it dry and dark; light and warmth make elastane brittle over the years. When mending, what counts is that the thread matches the fabric and the repair bulks no more than necessary. Before the first metre, sew a test on a scrap: stitch length and tension matter more here than with a firm thread. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Prym elastic tape in White is suitable for
- Cuffs and waistbands
- Invisible seams
- Crafting and decorating
Frequently asked questions
How do I wash finished pieces?
According to the main fabric, but better not too hot. Heat is what troubles elastic material most, in the water as in the dryer. In a tumble dryer, elastic material ages faster than in any hand wash.
How long does the material last?
Stored dry and dark, many years. What has lain at a window for years turns brittle and snaps when stretched — noticed only once the seam is already in place.
How much do I need?
For gathering, considerably more than the finished length, because the material works within the stitch. Counting generously avoids joining mid-seam. A part-used remnant usually still covers cuffs on children's clothes.
Does it work with any sewing machine?
With most. What matters is adjustable tension and even feeding; a test seam shows both within two minutes. On older machines, check the manual for what the bobbin case allows.
