Abbaoww 144 Yard 3/8 Inch Black Braided Elastic, Springy Stretch Braided Elastic Cord Elastic Band for Sewing

Love it and will definitely buy again. The eleastic is very sturdy and great for the project I have.

I purchased it to make easy skirts with elastic waste. I cut the appropriate size but had to cut it down to more than half for it to fit properly. Was too stretchy for my needs.

I love the fact that it comes on a 144 yd. roll which hangs in my sewing room making it easy to access. The price is reasonable. I use a lot of elastic and the cost of a roll from another outlet plus the shipping was $70. With Prime it now costs less than half of that for the same quality. I'm happy!

In the first picture you see this product on the bottom, below 1/4" braided elastic (for comparison). The second picture is a closeup. The third picture shows the two types of elastic stretched out. This elastic is more like lingerie elastic than the sturdy and smooth braided elastic I wanted. This elastic is far stretchier than the 1/4" elastic. A 2-inch piece of the 1/4" elastic stretches to about 4". A two-inch piece of the 1/8" elastic stretches to over 5". I bought this elastic to use on masks and I am afraid the extreme stretchiness is going to make it difficult to get the mask to fit well. I also think the bumpy texture will be more uncomfortable than the smooth braided elastic. Lastly, I did not realize this was coming from China or I wouldn't have ordered it. It took four weeks to arrive.

I had ordered and expected white elastic but this looks like a dirty white/grey. Thought it might be the sealed plastic wrap on the spool which was nicely put inside a ziploc bag so I removed it from the bag and slightly opened the plastic wrap and unfortunately it was still that muted grey color. Bummer I had ordered a second spool for my father in law. Hope he's not disappointed with the color too. UPDATE; Dad is fine with color and likes the stretchiness of it.

This is hard to find 3/8 elastic material in black at very good price. Have no data on long term last ability . SD

Just what I was looking for for my projects!

this is great elastic. even when stretched out & sewn it holds it shape.
