Timothy R. ★★★★★

Finally found elastic that actually stays flat through the wash without twisting. The braided texture gives just enough grip to hold a waistband securely without being stiff.

Robert ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 1/2" braided elastic for a few quick sewing projects, and it holds its shape well through washing without twisting. The slight ribbing makes it easy to sew evenly into waistbands without slipping around.

Ellie ★★★★★

The braided texture gives it a nice grip when I’m sewing it into a waistband—it doesn’t slide around as much as I expected. It’s lightweight but holds its shape well after a few washes, and the half-inch width is perfect for my kids’ pajama pants.
