I ...Thanks for the tip about steaming the elastic. I just made a cotton batiste slip, and I thought I had stretched the elastic too much, because it stayed sort of stretched out. I can still wear the slip, but was thinking of re-doing the waistband with a more heavy-duty elastic. I'm going to try steaming it first, as I do like the delicate look of the 3/8" picot elastic.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242983183577010542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-50917302132564138532013-10-05T21:31:07.794-04:002013-10-05T21:31:07.794-04:00I'm a late-comer too - but glad that I found y...I'm a late-comer too - but glad that I found your site. Why is the encased elastic waistband not popular? Is it really a lot bulkier than directly sewing on the elastic? Can any elastic be used to sew straight onto the waist? Thanks Gertie.

If you'd like an "old-fashioned" way of neatening elastic joins, try this: Cut a length of (1/2" to 1" wide) satin ribbon 2-1/2 times the width* of the elastic; set it aside. Join the elastic and trim excess. Center the ribbon on the underside of the elastic on the join; baste in place; then wrap the ribbon all the way around the elastic to the starting place. Fold under 1/8" and sew in place. This method of reinforcing elastic joins on panties and slips was used by RWT for years. Cordially, Nehmah *Say the elastic is 3/8" wide; you need enough ribbon to cover the top, the underside and 1/8" to fold under.
