This Designer's Choice elastic is designed to be stiffer and provide more kick than other elastics, making it suitable for heavier fabrics. It maintains its width when stretched, ideal for exposed waistbands on gathered skirts or pants. It is also well-suited for cuff bands and jacket waistbands. Versatile for use in waistbands, gloves, suspenders, belts, face straps, sporting goods, sweatbands, horse blankets, and pockets. The elastic is pre-shrunk, machine washable, and dryable, but should not be exposed to temperatures above 200 degrees. Made from 68% polyester and 32% natural latex rubber, it comes in a 6-inch by 2-yard reel. The braided woven specialty elastic is great for waistbands, sleeves, legbands, scrunching, and more, making it suitable for both home sewing projects and production needs.
