    This was useful. Do you have tips for elastic application on other parts of the swimsuit (aside from straps) that require tension?

    I’m soooo looking forward to your tension video. This has been my biggest issue when learning how to use my serger. Tension looks great up until I add elastic :( Thanks again for the sewing tips!

    Thank so much! You inspired me to get an elastic foot, I tried it a couple of times and gave up on it. Now I want to try again! Haha practice makes perfect!

    Thank you so much, you have just helped me solve two of most annoying my serge issues. Definitely going to get that elastic foot.

    Great work on creating a very informative video. Loved that you shared that not all elastic feet fit any machine. Yes, most accessory feet are engineered for the specific models of sewing machines. Keep up the great work. We keep learning, being inspired by you. :)

    Could you recommend another elastic foot? The one linked is now unavailable! Specifically, do you have any recommendations for one that fits a regular sewing machine? I bought the Avery top pattern and I’m looking forward to making my first swimsuit!

      I looked high and low and can not find one with this adjustable roller tension thing they are all just slide tension. It is the mystery. I did see one for Juki.

    Hi! Can you post a video regarding how to take in a swimsuit which is too large? I bought two bathing suits which are too big for me and I would love to learn the basics of where to cut and re-sew in order to fit it to my body so I can wear them again! Thank you :)

    Do you have a cover stitch machine as well or do you just use a twin needle on the regular sewing machine

    Very helpful. Thank You! However, how does the elastic work if there is no tension on it to hold the fabric snugged to your body?? Thank you

    • @Just-a-girl
      @Just-a-girl 7 месяцев назад

      For swim wear it should stretch with the insertion of the body..

  • @debradalton5755
    @debradalton5755 2 года назад

    What brands of elasticator feet have the features you showed or talked about? I am looking on Amazon and the feet I see do NOT have the features you were talking about, as far as I can tell.

  • @rosac8168
    @rosac8168 5 месяцев назад

    So this foot is for a serger only or can it be used on sewing machine ?

  • @madyleighdecker
    @madyleighdecker Год назад

    Ugh I cannot find an elastic foot for my machine ANYWHERE; I have a Janome new home and can only find one for the new home serger OR for a different model Janome machine :/

  • @rebeccawhitley4973
    @rebeccawhitley4973 Год назад

    Thank you for such a detailed video! Question, is there a difference between an elastic foot and an elastic gathering foot? Or are they different names for the same thing?

    • @EdgewaterAve
      @EdgewaterAve  Год назад +1

      Same thing! I just don’t use the gathering function, I use it more like a guide

  • @nancymckercher9269

    Hello Kati,
    Thank you for your video. One question, do you use The differential on the right of your machine? Or do you let all the time at the position N?
    Thank you
    Amanda

    • @EdgewaterAve

      I keep it at normal the whole time, but it's a great tool if you're needing to adjust your settings!

    • @EdgewaterAve
      @EdgewaterAve  2 года назад

      I got mine off eBay so I can't link it! But definitely try eBay if you have a Babylock, there's some dealers on there that sell Babylock products

    do you have your knife on whenever using the elastic foot?

    • @EdgewaterAve
      @EdgewaterAve  2 года назад

      I do, but I don't cut anything off so in theory I could keep it down!

  • @luciebillingsley7753
    @luciebillingsley7753 2 года назад

    I don't have an elastic foot but am finding my serger leaves the elastic and fabric stretched out once sewn. I've tried altering the presser foot pressure and tension but it's still stretching the elastic. Do you think an elastic foot would solved this problem?

    • @EdgewaterAve
      @EdgewaterAve  2 года назад

      If you go to my elastic playlist, go to part 3 in the elastic series and I show you show to counteract this problem! An elastic foot might help too

  • @keilanifelix9818

    are elastic foots only for sergers machines or can it be used for normal sewing machines too?

    • @EdgewaterAve
      @EdgewaterAve  3 года назад +1

      There are ones for regular machines too!

  • @kelliedelka
    @kelliedelka 3 года назад

    My elastic foot doesn't have the size quage. So it definitely moves and makes it a bit harder. My serger is old and luckily a store found a foot haha. I have white superlock serger. But my elastic won't stay put.

    • @haileylilliott9066
      @haileylilliott9066 2 года назад

      i have a similar machine, about to try my elastic foot but it also doesn't have a size guage.

    I do not like to shop at esty. It is a bait and switch site. "sold by the yard $4.99" ..."$4.99 1/4 yard". Everything is over priced there.
