It’s direct and I don’t have an over locker.

You could just zig zag over the existing elastic.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

using zigzag stitch does the same job . It's tricky to do tho. You need to stretch the elastic while you sew it to the fabric base

yes I have , they scare me lol My mum used all these weird feet for things like shirring and ruffling, I just use plain feet and use hand tailoring methods to do the same thing

I found a manual for it but am still scared. You can’t unpick those results.

I have a gizmo for that but have never tried it. And a super complicated pleater foot that scares me

I used to do it with just a plain foot and stretch the elastic by hand while sewing it on
