I was a bit worried the elastic would be too flimsy, but it held up perfectly when I sewed it into a pair of heavy denim shorts. The stiffness gives just the right amount of support for the waistband.

The stiffness is exactly what I wanted—it holds its shape through a thick denim waistband without twisting or rolling. Cut it with regular scissors and it frayed very little, which saved me a headache. This roll will last me through several projects.

I needed something sturdy for a heavy wool coat waistband, and this elastic held its shape perfectly without curling. It cut cleanly and sewed on smoothly with no skipped stitches.
