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.

Lily K. ★★★★★

I’ve used this for finishing the mesh pockets in bags I sew, and the fold-over edge makes it so easy to get a clean, even finish every time. The 50-yard roll lasts forever, and it held up great after a warm machine wash.

Emma ★★★★★

The fold-over edge on this elastic is really neat, making it easy to wrap around mesh pockets without fraying. I used it on a tote bag and the 50-yard roll was more than enough for the project. Machine washing and drying it after construction worked perfectly, no issues at all.

Emma N. ★★★★★

I used this elastic to finish the mesh pockets on my latest tote bag, and it folded over cleanly without any fraying. Washing it warm didn't cause any shrinkage or curling, which was a relief. Exactly what I needed for bag making.
