ELASTICATOR
An elastic foot is available as an optional extra. This foot will
guide your elastic and at the same time apply pressure to
the elastic with our specially designed tension controlled
roller, allowing you to control the elasticity while sewing.
1. Replace regular foot with elasticator.
2. Set stitch length at about 4.
3. Slightly raise the roller portion of the foot and insert
elastic tape between the roller and the lower support bar
as illustrated, until the edge of elastic reaches the feed
dog teeth.
4. Sew the elastic for about one inch (3 cm) or more to
confirm if the tape is properly sewn.
5. Insert the fabric under the foot and sew together with the
elastic.
6. Check the stitches to make sure they are proper and
adjust tension (tighter) if necessary.
7. Adjust the tension control of the roller so that the desired
finish can be obtained.
a. Tighter tension of the roller gives more elasticity of the
fabric after it is sewn.
b. Weaker tension of the roller gives less elasticity of the
fabric.
