Madison ★★★★★

Finally found elastic that doesn't twist inside the casing, which was driving me crazy. The slight ribbing gives just enough grip to stay put during wear around the waistband. Good, basic option for simple sewing projects.

Henry L. ★★★★★

Waistbands on my last three skirts turned out way better than the store-bought ones, the narrow-when-stretched action grabs fabric neatly instead of bunching. It’s light enough for a gathered sleeve, too, and the black dye didn’t bleed on the first wash.

Violet J. ★★★★★

The ribbed texture keeps it from slipping when I’m sewing waistbands, and it springs back well even after washing. Perfect for basic projects.
