KKat said... Hi Sewlil, Thank You, I used a wide coverstitch. Cabinbaby, that was how it was advertised, as Victoria Secrets fabric. I've gotten some in the past from fabricdepot (www.fabricdepotco.com) as a value pack that was the same as what vs uses or very, very similar. 2/27/08 4:45 AM

KKat said... Hi Lil Miss :) I made mine using regular Lingerie Elastic. I've used FOE in the past and have had mixed results. I think the big thing with it is to keep it even and make sure it's catching the edge of the fabric. Then also, Stretching it just a bit as you're applying to the front, and stretching more firmly as you are applying to the back. 2/28/08 7:02 AM
