How Do You Sew Elastic Directly To Fabric Without Skipped Stitches & Breakage Of Individual Elastic Strands?
I’d suggest you might want to try knitted elastic, and I’d also suggest using a “stretch” point needle, or at least a ballpoint needle. You may also need stabilizer. Maxilock is pretty much the standard serger thread, and should be plenty strong enough for lingerie elastic. I use it all the time for that with my serger. Three books to see if the library has: Jan Bones: Lingerie secrets Kwik Sew’s Beautiful Lingerie Karen Morris: Sewing Lingerie Needle types and uses: http://www.schmetzneedles.com/education.… The other thing that really helps me when sewing elastic is to make sure the presser foot pressure is adjusted, usually to the heavy side. Hope your machine allows you to adjust the presser foot pressure, as I find it very useful.
