  I love this! I tried doing it myself but the elastic thread kept on breaking. What kind of elastic thread did you use, and what tension did you put it on (I don’t have an automatic tension on my machine)?

    i do it like this:
    you have to put the elastic in the bobin, not too tight and not too loose. sew with longest stitch width.

    i usually put the “usual” tension in my tension wheel, maybe a liiiiiitle looser.

    oh, also (i don’t know how is you lower bobin) but mine has a liiiitle screw, i loosen it so the elastic can move through it.

    hope it helped!
