Hand wind the shirring elastic onto your bobbin. Use same color standard thread for the top. If you are going to need a hem, hem it first because it's harder after shirring. Simply sew the lines from one end of the line to the other, about 1/2 inch apart. The shirring elastic will automatically gather the fabric for you. Be sure to tie the ends to keep them from pulling out, or anchor them with extra stitching.
What else can I help you with?
When you have hand wind the elastic on the machine and have everything in place but the material don't gather what do you do?
Using elastic thread in the bobbin doesn't make the material gather, you have to do it yourself. This is called shirring. You'll need to use a zigzag stich, make several rows of stitching, secure the top thread and the elastic thread on one edge of the fabric and then pull the elastic threads on the other edge to produce the gathering or shirring.

When was elastic made?
Elastic material was first introduced in the early 19th century as rubber bands. The modern elastic we commonly use today was further developed and popularized in the early 20th century.
What kind of thread is used to sell elastic bands into pants?

Do ace bandages contain latex?
Some ace bandages do still contain latex. However, due to latex allergies the original contents have been changed. Manufacturers use cotton, polyester, and latex-free elastic yarn. Type your notes on this page.Due to the risk of latex allergies among users, the original composition of elastic bandages has changed. While some bandages are still manufactured with latex, many woven and knitted elastic bandages provide adequate compression without the use of natural rubber or latex. The modern elastic bandage is constructed from cotton, polyester and latex-free elastic yarns. By varying the ratio of cotton, polyester, and the elastic yarns within a bandage,

Why use cotton?
because it is a much more energy and money sufficient material.
How do you calculate stiffness of a elastic material?
When a load is applied to a material it deforms. Elasticity is defined as the ability of a material to return completely to its original state after a load is removed. For example, the reason an elastic band is elastic is that it will return to its original dimensions after being stretched and released. Modulus of elasticity is the measure of this ability and is experimentally determined by measuring how much a material deforms when a given load is applied. A high modulus material is very stiff. A low modulus material is more "rubbery". Engineering calculation of deflection of a design element use Modulus of Elasticity (aka Lambda) an an input.
