 We especially love using fold-over elastic for finishing the edges of mesh fabric for pockets in purses and bags. (Care and instructions: Machine wash warm, do not bleach. Tumble dry at medium heat.)

Not working with mesh? Fold-over elastic is perfect for finishing a neckline or wristbands on a special outfit. It also beautifully finishes the edges of diapers or diaper covers to securely fit your special baby.
- 20mm wide, nylon.
- Please note that each unit ordered is for a pre-cut and packaged piece that is 50 yards long.

Directions for use:
1. Choose the side that matches best. One side of fold-over elastic is extra shiny for a fashion finish. The other side features a matte finish for a more subtle finish.
2. Position the edges of fabric in center of fold-over elastic.
3. Fold elastic over raw edges and pin at beginning.
4. For smooth edges: Set the stitch to a straight stitch or a narrow, medium-length zig-zag. Carefully guide fabric and fold-over elastic under machine needle and stitch.
5. For gathered edge: Guide fabric and fold-over elastic with one hand as you stretch fold-over elastic tightly with other hand. Then straight or zig-zag stitch on edge of fold-over elastic, catching all layers.

Alexander B. ★★★★★

This pumpkin color is exactly what I needed for a fall-themed sewing project, and the 3/4-inch width worked perfectly for binding the raw edges of my mesh pocket inserts. It washed up nicely on warm without any fraying or fading, just as the care instructions said.

Joseph ★★★★★

The fold-over elastic handled machine washing and drying without fraying or losing its stretch, which is a relief for bag projects that see constant use. That 50-yard roll will last me through several purse builds, and the pumpkin tone pops nicely against the mesh pockets.

Hannah H. ★★★★☆

I used this for finishing the mesh pockets on a tote bag, and the fold-over design made it so easy to get a clean edge. The pumpkin shade is a nice rich orange that works well for fall projects. It washed up fine on a gentle cycle with no fraying.
