Description of ๐Ÿงถ White Braided Polyester Elastic - Stretchrite, 1/4-Inch x 144 Yards

Braided Polyester Elastic is 72% polyester and 28% rubber, and is one of the most versatile elastics available for sewing and crafting projects. Each spool contains 144 yards of white elastic measuring 1โ„4-inch wide. Elastic stretches easily and resumes it original shape and length every time. Braided elastic narrows when stretched and is suitable for sleeves and necklines where rolling isnโ€™t a concern. This lightweight elastic can be encased in fabric or sewn directly onto the material

the quality was bad.

Over the past few years I have bought several spools of this cuff from this seller, usually 3-5 spools at a time . Never had a problem until recently. The last two times I've ordered, the quality is poor. The elastic is noticeably thinner and the weave is different. Some of them don't even seem to get the full 150 yards. On two spools was a piece of ordinary thick rubber band about 10-15 meters long, after which it turned into a thin crappy rubber band. I returned part of my previous order forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Braided cuff shrinks when stretched and is good for sleeves and necklines where twisting is not a problem
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Good price!

I sew doll clothes, so I buy a lot of elastic. It seems like every time I went to Walmart to buy it, the price went back up. So naturally I came to Revane to see what I could find. Revain is priced at about 0.14 yards compared to the cheapest 1/4 inch rubber at Walmart which is about 0.25 yards. It folds up super fast if you use it a lot, plus it's nice to have lots on hand so I don't have to keep opening new packs of rubber bands that end up lying loose in my workspace. I find it very usefulโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The elastic stretches easily and returns to its original shape and length every time
Cons
  • Very expensive

Cannot be used if you need an open elastic.

I bought this model because it was very profitable. I have 2 kids so it took me 5 months to sit down and prep the whole bolt for my Etsy shop apart from a few cuts here and there and today I actually unwrapped it so I could cut it all the way open and set it in place that he is not solid a piece. It's not good for me because it leaves waste and I lose money. I've encountered a few visible imperfections (sort of like pencil marks, but they're ingrained and won't rub off or anything), but it wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This lightweight elastic can be covered with fabric or sewn directly onto fabric.
Cons
  • Not sure.
