Christopher ★★★★★

I've been using this elastic for pajama shorts and it holds up well through washes. The ribbed texture keeps it from twisting inside the casing, which was my main frustration with other elastics. A solid choice for basic sewing projects.

Joseph B. ★★★★★

Waistbands on my daughter's skirts turned out way better than I expected, the elastic narrows just enough when stretched to sit flat without twisting. Lightweight but holds its shape through washes, which is all I really need for basic sewing projects.

Ryan N. ★★★★★

The ribbed texture grips fabric nicely without twisting, and it holds its shape through multiple washes on pajama waistbands. It narrows just enough when stretched to sit flat against seams, which makes gathering sleeves a lot less fiddly.
