-===== Waistband and elastic ​how to =====+===== How to attach ​elastic to the waistband ​=====
  
 +When I am sewing for my family, I usually prefer to make a buttonhole along the waistline, then create a tunnel and insert the elastic later. That way I can cut a little extra and adjust the elastic as desired. To prevent curling inside the tunnel, I usually stitch a few stitches in the ditch at the center front seam.
 +
 +When the waist measurements are known accurately, attaching the elastic with the overlocker makes a perfect non roll finish.
 +I start by sewing the elastic into a ring, using a zigzag or triple zigzag on my sewing machine. Then I quarter mark both the elastic and the edge of the pants and I pin, matching the quarter marks. ​
