The assembly on the gum is most often used in children's and summer women's clothing.
The gum is most often positioned in the chest area.
In the waist area
On cuffs
And even on the bottom of the product
Three ways of sewing elastic braid - gum
With any of the ways before sewing a gum need to be treated the edge of the product
For example, ordinary bending with a closed slice
Or opicter edge on overlock
Now we will consider with you three different ways of sewing elastic braid - gum
First method: thread Stretch wound on the bobbin
This method is recommended for thin lightweight materials.
After you were laid the outer edge of the detail, you can move directly to the formation of the assembly with the help of an elastic rubber thread.
The rubber band is manually wound on the bobbin with minimal tension.
The tension of the upper thread must be slightly weakened.
Before flashing on the product details, you should test the line on the same flaps as the sewn product. This will allow you to adjust the tension of the thread and get a beautiful line.
Insert the bobbin into the car and sew on the markup, as usual.
Sew from the front side of the part.
At the end and beginning of each line, leave about 5 centimeters of the thread and gum so that they can be associated with each other.
Another way, when at the end of the first first line, make a turn and continue to sew without separation, lay second, third, etc. The right number of lines.
But if the sewing experience is not enough, it is better to start every line first and sew in one direction.
You can sew with parallel lines to the width of the paws.
But if you are not sure before starting to sew, mark the location of the line of the lines with chalk or self-describing pencil.
This is what the wrong side looks
Trial sample
It is recommended to perform a trial sample on a piece of fabric. After all, if you do it for the first time, it is better to practice.
Important! It is necessary to train and perform a trial sample only on that fabric, from which you are going to sew a product.
Rubber compression ratio
If you wanted to use an elastic assembly on a large area, for example, on a belt of trousers or skirts, etc., then you need to determine the compression ratio of gum.
To do this, it is necessary to prepare a rectangular piece of tissue of a certain size, for example 30 × 20 cm. Distribute on the front side of the lines line fabric.
Run the first line (Fig. 1), reaching the end of the part, turn on 90 degrees (Fig. 2), go down to the next markup line, turn 90 degrees again and perform 2 lines (Fig. 3). In this case, it is necessary to stretch the fabric with your hands so that the fabric under the foot is served without assemblies.
Now measure the resulting sample and consider it when striking and sewing

Second method: assembly on elastic braid
The method, on an elastic braid, simply speaking - on the lounge gum, suitable for heavier dense materials or two layers of fabric.
We need a rubber band 5 mm wide
Now we will sew a rubber band on the involving side of the part of the straight line. During the sewing, the rubber band is stretched.
In order to withstand the distance between the rows of rubber bands can be focused on the eye or draw the required number of lines in advance.
In order to avoid distortion, you need to evenly pull the gum in the line and in each row.

Third way: with hats gum
Hat gum is sewn zigzag on the outline product details
In this case, the cord is not stretched, but the line should pass so that the gum can move freely.
For high-quality implementation of the seam and facilitating the work, a special foot is used.
The distance between the lines makes the width of the paws.
After completion, you need to tighten the gum and uniformly distribute the assembly.
You can arrange the edge of the rubber band in the bending
Or with the opicter of the edge on overlock
I hope that one of the ways you will certainly like it!
