    Thanks so much for posting this. Just what I needed to know, and in a short and concise format, now I can get straight to that elastic! 😊

    Thank you for making this video. I don't have a sewing machine but have always wanted to sew. Therefore, my only way to go is hand-sewing. So I'm very grateful for what you've done here. :)

    I’m so happy I found this tutorial. I’ve been looking online on how to hand sew Elastic bands and this is the only great video I found. I also don’t have a sewing machine😭. This tutorial is so on point and I can follow along with your way on sewing elastic band. Thank you❤️

    Thank you for this! Simple and easy to understand.😊 The other videos I found were confusing or used a sewing machine.😅 Unfortunately I have no idea how to use mine so I'm sticking with hand sewing for now. I really need this for some garments I've been wanting to create. 😁 Also, if you had one on hand, you could use an embroidery hoop to stretch the fabric/elastic/anything that needs to be held taut. It can be a bit troublesome to get it in there at first but it does work!

    It’s interesting because all these skirt videos seem to just want to fold over the cloth and make a tunnel for the elastic. I feel like I’m missing something, and maybe this is it

    • @astolfofan894
      @astolfofan894 3 месяца назад

      Sounds like they wanted you to sew a stretched elastic to the ends of the skirt so that it the fabric bunches up when the elastic is at its normal length.

  • @SamuraiMover
    @SamuraiMover 6 лет назад +4

    Did you use a normal thread? Or those strechable one?

    • @alicesbearshop5272
      @alicesbearshop5272  6 лет назад +3

      Hi. It's a non stretch thread. I used a thick embroidery thread to make it easier to see in the video. You can do this stitch much smaller with thinner thread thread too.

    Would this stitch be good for hand sewing jersey knit fabric shirt?

    • @alicesbearshop5272
      @alicesbearshop5272  6 лет назад

      Hi Anthony Weber. I've not used it for that. You'd need to work much smaller. I'd love to know how you get on.

    • @anthonyweber1759
      @anthonyweber1759 6 лет назад

      Alice's Bear Shop Do you mean make each stitch shorter?

    • @alicesbearshop5272
      @alicesbearshop5272  6 лет назад +1

      Anthony Weber yes, shorter and narrower. Just scale it right down from the tutorial

  • @annadresnack2157
    @annadresnack2157 4 года назад +1

    is this the zig zag stitch for finishing edges, or just for sewing elastic? this is the best video i’ve found, but it doesn’t look like other zig zag stitches i’ve seen. Thanks!

    THANK YOU! i've been stuck on a project for so long, needing to hand sew elastic [on doll scale!]. i kept searching and, until your video, everyone kept using sewing machines with no mention of hand sewing, let alone which stitch to us! thank you again for such a straight forward video

    I’m needing to take in a (one piece) swim suit from the sides, where it lays over my torso. Would I be able to use a back stitch? Or should I be using this type of stitch even though I’m not sewing an elastic band? Would really appreciate your help! =)

    • @alicesbearshop5272
      @alicesbearshop5272  5 лет назад

      Hi. When you say it lays over your torso is the seam from left to right across your body or down , top to bottom?

    • @shivalidave8274
      @shivalidave8274 5 лет назад

      Alice's Bear Shop the seams are vertical, top to bottom. It starts in the underarm area and stops at the pelvic bone on either side.

    Thanks for showing me hand zig zag stitch as I may need this information as my old sewing machine don't have zig zag stitch as far as I know I got to look so may have to do via hand sewing as it's stretch fabric I'm working with
