with pins

to make sure it is positioned uniform-
ly on the fabric.
2. Sew the elastic band to the fabric while stretching the band
so that it is at the same length as the fabric. While pulling the
fabric behind the presser foot with your left hand, hold the
fabric by the nearest pin in front of the presser foot with your
right hand.
NOTE
When sewing, be sure that the needle of the sewing machine
does not touch any pins, otherwise the needle may bend or
break.
