Hey, all! I promised I would show you how to use the fold-over elastic as binding on a tank top and the easiest way to do it was to make a video slideshow. If you are using fold-over elastic for a t-shirt, just use the instructions for the neckline part. Let me know if you have questions.
What fun this was to watch! Love the music too! The tank is the best part, and I bet the girls are watching too! Love, Mom
Great video. Where did you find the fold over elastic? Did you use a standard machine or a coverstitch to apply it?
Hi, Lana! I purchased it from the ebay seller I mentioned in this post:

I used a standard sewing machine and a zigzag stitch. You can also use a zigzag to attach the back side of the FOE only, then go back and fold the top of it down and secure with a straight stitch (to make it look less casual).
Let me know how it goes!
