Troubleshooting

Elastic is slipping or not providing sufficient grip.

Ensure the rubberized side is facing the skin and that the elastic is sewn securely with appropriate stitching techniques. If the grip is still insufficient, consider adjusting the tension or using a different stitch type.

Elastic is stretched out after washing.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Always follow the care instructions. Consider pre-washing the elastic if it continues to stretch out.

Stitching breaks or unravels.

Use a strong needle and thread suitable for elastic. Reinforce stitches, especially at stress points. Adjust sewing machine settings to ensure proper tension.
