Soft Stitch Through Elastic

                      

This elastic is the only one to use for One-Seam Pants, Easy, Ageless, Cool pants, My Swing Set pants, Discover Something Novel pants, plus Putting It Together skirts.
You can topstitch 2 or 3 rows of stitching through the elastic without harming it or reducing its elasticity.  It has excellent recovery.  It bends when you bend, but does not crease.
This elastic should be cut at least 9" to 12" smaller than your waist measurement and will still feel very comfortable when worn.
For larger waists, the elastic could be cut at 13" - 15" smaller than the waist measurement.
Always check to see if the finished amount will slip over your hips easily.
