Useful Tips and Tricks

Here are some additional tips to help you measure your elastic band correctly:

  • Always measure the elastic band while it is stretched slightly. This will give you a more accurate measurement for a snug fit.
  • Be careful not to pull the elastic band too hard while measuring, as it may result in an incorrect measurement.
  • If your elastic band is wider than your ruler or measuring tape, measure one side at a time and then add the measurements together for the total length.
  • Use a pen or marker to mark the measurement on the elastic band, especially if you have multiple bands of different lengths. This will help you keep track of the measurements during your sewing project.
