You’ve just covered what many of us have experienced by trial and error in one concise video. Thank you Marta and Love Notions Patterns for this very important and informative video. Elastics of today are not what were available to us many years ago and this is just one of the things we need to keep up with while improving and updating our sewing skills. A big thank you!

Thanks so much Suzanne! It's actually not a far cry. I'm Polish! I was born in Poland but came to Canada when I was 6 so no accent. 🖤

Nicely demonstrated. I do have a question: how does the elastic stabilize a seam? I realize that it isn’t (normally) stretching within the seam , so why choose something stretchy to begin with? Beginner here, so please help me understand. Thank you.

Thanks Denise! Elastic prevents the seams from stretching out overtime. Knit fabrics have a tendency to do that with wear and washing. ~K

Marta, thanks for the video. Have you tried feeding your clear elastic through that guide hole in your serger foot? It works wonders for me.

@@LoveNotions Your foot looks like mine and i use that hole when using the 1/4 clear elastic. The elastic is positioned exactly in the stitch line.

You explained how to sew the different kinds of elastic very clearly. However, I also don’t understand how sewing the elastic onto the bottom of the bodice will help prevent the skirt’s weight from pulling the dress down.

Thanks Susan! It prevents that waist seam from stretching out overtime. As it stretches out, it will also droop. ~K

Sorry but why would you use /demo an elastic you know your serger doesn't like? Do we need to see this?

Maybe it is helpful to know that not every technique/notion works for everyone and every machine ;) A little realism LOL! Hope you found the rest of the tutorial helpful.
