Stretchrite 1/4 Inch Braided Polyester Elastic for Sewing and Crafting, 1/4-Inch by 144-Yards, White

I was using it for scrunchies but the stretch is to stiff.

I always buy spools of elastic this large to keep on hand for my sewing projects. I always buy the stretchrite brand. it is consistently good quality and a great price.

I make doll clothes so I buy a lot of elastic. Seems like every time I went to Walmart to buy it, the price had gone up again.. So, of course, I came to Amazon to see what I could find.. The price on Amazon is about .14 a yard compared to the cheapest 1/4" elastic at Walmart, which is about .25 a yard. When you use a lot of it, that really adds up quickly, plus it's nice to have this much on hand so I don't have to keep opening new packs of elastic, which are then laying loose on my workspace. I find this very convenient having it rolled up on a spool..As for the elastic itself, it's stretchy, but not exactly like the product I used to buy from Walmart. Walmarts brand is a bit softer and has a little more stretch, but for what I use this for, it's fine..Elastic is normally encased in a seam, so the softness really doesn't matter, and I've found that it stretches just fine. Plus, I had noticed that the Walmart brand had become prone to ravel, and I haven't seen any raveling with this elastic at all. It seemed to me that the Walmart brand kept going up in price, but the product itself was being made cheaper.

This is a 144 yards of quarter inch elastic. It is a LOT of elastic! But it is just right for making lots of things. Works good in many different crafts. I used it for making some sleep masks (I was working 3rd shift at the time) and also made my self a pair of underwear and used it in the waist band. I can see this being good for putting elastic in sleeves, doll clothes, or anything else where you don't need a really wide elastic. Just keep in mind it is a lot of elastic, so if you don't need this much, this might not be for you.

This product is exactly what you might expect. The stretch is great and comparable to something you might find at your local sewing shop, in fact it might be the exact same product that is offered there. At least it is in my store. I've bought this particular item twice now, it is easy to work with the size is great for my use, and I use a LOT of elastic for my sewing projects. I love that it provides me with plenty of elastic to get loads of projects done, the price is excellent and the product itself is very durable and withstands many, many trips to the washer and dryer.

This was used to make dresses for Operation Christmas Child.Thank you! When you serve us with value and quality, you help us serve others.

I would've given more stars, but the item had two ends. After alot of unraveling, I was able to remove the cut section and wrapped the main back up. I'm not sure if the length of the product is accurate due to this. Was disappointed.

I've purchased and used this brand before. It was great and high quality. What came today was the same product and packaging but cheaper quality elastic. I noticed that the one that I had was made in India and it was 72% polyester, 28% rubber and the one sent was made in China with lower percentages. The price was the same as before though. $30. I have to return it since I made dresses with it to sell and this would not hold up well. If you are looking for a soft elastic with a lot of stretch most likely this will be fine. But its not a heavy duty one.
