Date: 1/20/13 3:36 PM horizontal elastic? do you mean elastic that stretches across the narrow dimension, not lengthwise like what I'm familiar with?
Do you have any photos of what it needs to do? How stretchy does it need to be?

Date: 1/20/13 4:17 PM Don't they use elastic that stretches across the narrow in side panels of workout wear? It seems like I've seen that. ------ Linda

I also second someones suggestion of a PR dictionary. Even after reading your 10 page link I remain clueless as to why I see post with the only words of *bumping* or *pinning*. Does typing that word do something in particular? Is it something you do or is is something done by the person typing the word? Or perhaps it is related only to the new search method?
I will trying searching PR threads to figure out more once I clear my head. Too much new information right now.
Anyway this is a great notion. The word elastic confused me until I saw the picture in the website- we are talking about a stretch zipper tape. Sort of like putting spandex in cotton fabric to give it stretch. Neat idea. ------ re-living my youth through sewing... |
