Is this machine good for attaching elastic to non-stretch material?

Yes it can attach elastic to non-stretch and to stretch material, the way to do it is for the elastic to be just a little off with the fabric, so fabric is about 1cm longer than elastic, when serger attaches the two it will cut part of the fabric without cutting the elastic and not only part of the stitch will be on the elastic.

These work with 2" webbing. I did not buy the stretching tool because that is used if you stretch and staple it. I had a elastic webbing 40' roll they show as "often bought with this" I just cut it about an inch shorter than the measured length and stretched it to fit into my slots - though my slots aren't like in the picture, mine turned 90 degrees which made it easier. I would attach the metal end cap to the webbing and pull it to the slot and hammer it in. Worked great.

No, is made of nylon material and has no stretch ability. I like it this way so I can control the pull.

I don't think it would work with elastic thread, in fact, the product did not work well at all. I would not buy this particular bobbin winder, it wound the thread lopsided and without equal tension, piece of junk!

Yes you could. I was able to remove the rubber foot, and someone handy should have little difficulty cutting a few inches off the bottom. You need to be careful with positioning the end piece for the elastic stretch connector. Good luck.

I suspect that it is just the picture... You need to select the size you need. It does stretch somewhat but is not elastic.BP

No, have used on file folders and unless folder is thick, it bends...these rubber bands are wider than average so dont have the stretch I expected

I have only used this machine on lightweight cottons so far. You may have to adjust the tension if your jeans are very heavy.

Yes but the purpose is not exclusively to moisten but to improve elasticity

No,, it's pretty stiff for hand embroidery, but it works well in an embroidery machine.

No it's not elastic. It has two arms and there is a 'lip' around the back to help with keeping it in the back when canopy is pulled forward.

In theory, this type of tool will do this. For me, this tool was not useful for anything. I'm accustomed to the all metal type of tape binding presser foot and this did not compare in any way.

Good day. Yes you may use leather but have to be thin.The blade that comes with the machine is good for clothes,plastic and not real thick leather.I suggest that the use of a thicker standard needle will be need for leather.Also the use of only one needle in step of the two will make the job easier and a strong polyester or nylon spools to make strong threads.Then some practice and the recommended settings on the chart will do the best.High quality spools is highly recommended. That's it......

Yes, it is possible to tie a knot using the bands to temporarily shorten them for specific exercises... and doing so will not damage them. But, the knot will tighten with each pull and stretch making it very difficult to loosen it... and struggling to do so, will stress the elastic... That will, eventually, cause damage to the elastic bands.

Sewing machine needles are pretty much universal. This one is good for heavier fabrics - not just denim.

I don't imagine that there would be any problem, since the straps that are intended for that purpose act like a small post at the point of contact with the elastics. However, the company makes a strap specifically designed for what you are asking about that has padding at the point of contact that is designed to relieve any harmful stress in the cords. The material that comes with the system shows how to quickly affix the strap to a post. IIRC, that strap is sold separately, but it is not expensive.R

It absolutely would! It works for any kind of stretches! It is very durable and sturdy and will take a lot of pressureagainst it and not come apart. It has loops at different distances to accommodate whatever length you might need to dodifferent kinds of stretches in different positions. You can use it behind your back to pull up a leg or in other position you can think up! It is a wonderful tool. It is better than yoga straps because of the loops at different lengths. I recommend it!
