Fold over elastic (FOE) is a type of elastic trim has good stretch and recovery properties, allowing it to be comfortably used in projects that require flexibility and movement. it has enough width to go over an edge and a dent down the center of the elastic on either sides, which aids in easy folding over fabrics.Here are a few key characteristics of fold over elastic:
Width: Fold over elastic typically comes in various widths, ranging from 1-16 inch to 4 inch or more.The width determines the coverage and visual impact of the elastic trim. So I recommend using FOE that is 16mm - 20mm wide when flat.The narrower the elastic, the more fiddly it is to apply. If you are new to using it, try to buy some that is 16mm or 20mm wide and practice before using it on your project.
Design: FOE is available in a whole rainbow of gorgeous colours, shades and textures, and can even be found with stripes, polka dots, floral prints, or other decorative elements. You can find solid-colored elastics Solid coloured FOE often has one matt and one shiny side, so you can decide which you prefer to be visible. It provides an opportunity to add unique and eye-catching accents to your projects.
Application: FOE is commonly used to finish the edges of garments, such as underwear, sportswear, and swimwear. It can also be used as a decorative trim on accessories, such as headbands, hair ties, and bracelets.sed to bind the raw edges of a project and provide elasticity, fold over elastic is usually sewn using a multi-stitch zigzag stitch.It helps your sewing projects to keep their shape because it has excellent recovery properties.Additionally, fold over elastic can serve as a comfortable and stylish waistband or strap on various garments.
