This light-weight elastic can be used with all types of fabrics. It is washable and dry cleanable and narrows when stretched. It is also shrink resistant and features a horizontal pull that stretches lengthwise. Washing Instructions: warm water wash and tumble dry. Available in a variety of colors and sizes.

What is the best thread for sewing in elastic?
Posting As
Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Any thread with a polyester core/polyester cover or 100% polyester that has a high breaking strength is a good choice. If using a home machine, we suggest increasing the stitch density (more stitches per inch) to get the maximum stretch. The best application is a zig-zag stitch which puts in more thread per inch and has provides more give. When using an industrial machine, a cover stitch or flatlock machine is the best as this is 5 or 6 needle, hence more thread and more give. Another option is to make a casing or tunnel for the elastic to be threaded into, giving the gathered edge a chance to stretch only when the elastic is fully stretched.

What is the tensile strength of our elastic?

Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Tensile strength of elastic cannot be measured because most equipment can only measure solid items like thread, wire, etc. Because of the stretch properties of elastic these machines “bottom-out” before the elastic breaks.

Do we carry “horizontal pull” elastic?

A:
Yes, all of our elastic is considered horizontal pull, meaning that is stretches lengthwise.

Why would elastic shrink? And is there a way to prevent this?
Posting As
Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Elastic, even shrink resistant elastic can shrink. To help avoid shrinking, cut the elastic using a hot blade and sew the ends. Shrinking is a property of rubber. When elastic is made it is put on a bed and pulled through a roller, thus the elastic is under some pressure. By cutting the ends, the elastic doesn’t have that tension holding it in place and it will shrink back into itself

What is the best way to wash Braid Elastic and how long does it last?
Posting As
Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Wash with warm water and tumble dry. The temperature limitations are less than 200 degrees F. The elastic will last normally 1-3 years, but it will depend on environment and care.
