Prym Buttonhole Elastic Black - 18mm

Its primary purpose is to create adjustable waistbands in garments, ideal for children's clothing, maternity wear, or any item where a flexible fit is needed.

You thread the elastic into a waistband casing, secure one end, and then attach the other end using the pre-made buttonholes and a button, allowing for adjustable waist width.

Yes, you can cut it to the desired length to fit your specific garment. Ensure you leave enough allowance for securing it within the waistband.

This certification means the product has been tested for harmful substances and is deemed safe for human use, meeting high standards for skin compatibility.

The elastic is washable at up to 60 degrees Celsius and is suitable for tumble drying.

This specific product (model 19560420) is 18mm wide and comes in a 1-meter roll.

While possible, it's not its primary design. Its pre-made buttonholes are intended for adjustable closures. For non-adjustable waistbands, standard elastic might be more suitable.

Adjust the position where the elastic is secured to the side seam. Use a different pre-made buttonhole to alter the fit.

Ensure you are using an appropriate needle and thread for the fabric. If the buttonholes feel too small for your button, consider a button with a smaller shank or slightly widening the buttonhole with a seam ripper if absolutely necessary (use caution).

Ensure you are following the care instructions: wash up to 60°C and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid excessive heat or harsh detergents.
