This is one of the best purchases I have ever made for sewing. I use a lot of elastic in my work and this really helps keep the tension and elastic on target. 🙂

Just not as we would like it. The foot is a little long, which restricts the sewing line.

Wow what a great way to sew elastic! I am new to serging and am having fun experimenting with different techniques and feet. This one is easy to use and has lots of possibilities. I am really glad I got this!

I sew all of my clothing including lingerie. While I enjoy sewing lingerie, I detest struggling with elastic - which is why I bought this elastic foot.

Take some time to play with this before testing it out on a garment. I watched some Youtube videos showing how to use the elastic foot - and that helped immensely. The instructions with the foot aren't as complete as I needed. I found that I had to cut the elastic 1" longer than the pattern required and to give the elastic a little tug now and again. I also had to do a bit of experimenting to get the differential feed adjusted properly. I keep my foot in the bag in which it came along with the instructions. I wrote on the instructions how I had the differential feed adjusted, how I had the tension adjusted on the foot and to cut the elastic 1" longer.

Using the serger and the elastic foot saved me at least an hour. No marking the garment and the elastic. No struggling to get the elastic sewn on. No having to sew the elastic twice.

The one disadvantage, and it's not a huge disadvantage, is that this foot is great for installing plain elastic. It's not good for installing fancy elastic. If I want fancy elastic, I still have to use my sewing machine. To me, this is a tiny price to pay to be able to attach elastic quickly and easily.

I was skeptical as to how well this product would work, especially given some of the other reviews. It has worked great for me so far. I’ve used this foot on my 1034D serger to apply elastic to a cotton fitted sheet and a ripstop nylon tire cover – both without difficulty. For me, this has been a good purchase.

I was skeptical because I saw the reviews of this not pulling the fabric but I'm glad I bought it! Works great guides the elastic so my hands are free to guide the fabric AND it does pull the elastic. At setting 1 there is barely any pull at 2 there is a slight pull 3 is more pull and at 4 you get a great amount of pull. Shipping was fast I ordered Friday and it reached my skybox by Monday morning. Very awesome. Helpful in my swimwear making

I have used this elastic foot three times for making bathing suits. The stretch of the elastic only works when set on “4”. Anything less does not stretch the elastic for application. This may be due to the knit elastic that I am using. Fortunately, the setting “4” seems to be just the right amount of stretch I need. I see myself just doing it with the regular foot and stretching the fabric and elastic if I need a tighter fit.
