Shirring Elastic – 0.75mm x 20m Black Thin Polyester Elastic for Smocking, Gathering Hand or Machine & Strengthening Knitwear Cuffs and Welts

I actually use this to mend bracelets - the elastic in them becomes stretched and the whole thing can fall off your wrist. This really helps.

Bought this to elasticate some clothing, thought it was a good idea, it did the job, but was very hard work trying to get the elastic through a needle eye, took me hours to complete my job.

Arrived quickly and reasonably well packaged.Reasonable price.reasonable quality.Im getting thru it more quickly than I expected. Just a couple of loops round each wrist of couple cardies has already used close to a metre. I dread to think how quickly I'll get thru it when I start on anything with a waistband.Still It's good strong stuff and will hopefully survive many washes and good while yet.ACID TEST: will I buy again - probably

Bought for altering masks a few months ago in Summer. It sews well and does not break when using. Good value for money.

This is not fit for purpose, especially for smocking, kept breaking and fraying.

This shearing elastic was exactly what I needed to fix a sleeve on a new top.

Great price, does what it’s supposed to do.

Good value
