Following the instructions for your pattern, cut your elastic to fit the part of the body it&#8217;s going around.  <\/li>\n<li>Pin the Ends Together.  <\/li>\n<li>Join the Ends.  <\/li>\n<li>Form a Square of Stitches.  <\/li>\n<li>Divide the <strong>Elastic<\/strong>.  <\/li>\n<li>Divide the Waistband Fabric.  <\/li>\n<li>Apply the Band to the Fabric.  <\/li>\n<li>Stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Similarly, how do you <strong>put<\/strong> <strong>elastic<\/strong> on pants? To work the elastic into the hem, insert the closed safety pin into the opening in your pant leg hem. Then, begin to work the <strong>elastic<\/strong> through the hem using the safety pin to move it along. You will have to work slowly and move the safety pin through the hem just a little at a time.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Invest in a crochet hook. If you have clothes where the elastic can be removed, a crochet hook is a handy tool to have when the elastic gets bunched up.  <\/li>\n<li>Replace the <strong>elastic<\/strong> all together.  <\/li>\n<li>Stitch up the areas where the elastic is twisting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

Set the sewing machine to a wide zigzag stitch and a short stitch length.
