Product Information

Full details

This Prym Elastic Waistbanding in Turquoise is designed for sewists and crafters seeking durable and versatile elastic for visible waistbands, stylish accessories, or trouser straps. Its key benefit is its strong, robust woven quality combined with vibrant color options, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. A minor consideration is that it's sold in fixed 10-meter rolls, which may be more than needed for small projects.

FAQs

What is the main use for this elastic?

It's designed for strong, visible waistbands, but is also great for trouser straps, stylish accessories, and other sewing projects requiring durable elastic.

How wide is this elastic banding?

The elastic banding is 38mm wide.

How much elastic do I get on one roll?

Each roll contains 10 meters of elastic.

Can I machine wash items made with this elastic?

Yes, items made with this elastic can be washed up to 40 degrees Celsius.

Is this elastic suitable for tumble drying?

Yes, it is suitable for tumble drying on a low heat setting.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, this elastic is available in 12 vibrant colors.

Can I use this for delicate garments?

While strong, it can be used for delicate garments if the project requires a robust waistband. However, its 38mm width might be more suitable for medium to heavy-weight fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Elastic losing stretch after washing

Ensure you are washing within the 40°C limit and avoid excessive heat during tumble drying. Use a mild detergent.

Stitching breaking when sewing through elastic

Use a stronger needle suitable for thicker fabrics (e.g., a denim or leather needle) and ensure your machine's tension is set correctly for the fabric and elastic combination.

Elastic is too stiff for a delicate garment

Consider using a thinner width elastic or pre-washing the elastic to soften it slightly before application. This particular 38mm width is best suited for sturdier applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard sewing machines and fabrics. It is particularly well-suited for medium to heavy-weight fabrics where its width and strength can be best utilized.

Care: This elastic is washable up to 40 degrees Celsius and suitable for tumble drying on a low heat setting. To maintain its elasticity and color, avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
