To ...Hi I thought you might find this tip helpful.<br /> To stop the safety pin coming undone while your inserting elastic in the casing wrap some sticky tape around it. Snip the tape off once you have got the elastic inserrted.nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689104785519328820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36521864.post-46731772248645561842011-04-26T01:11:48.553+10:002011-04-26T01:11:48.553+10:00I thought this was supposed to be a tutorial for a...I thought this was supposed to be a tutorial for a neckline casing.

I like your method of leaving a little bit open in the seam -- I've always used the method where you leave a gap in the stitching of the casing and then, after the elastic has been inserted, you stitch that little casing closed. You way will appear much neater from the right side!
