Review on 🧵 100 Pack of 1/4 Inch Stretchy Sewing Elastic Bands with Adjustable Buckle Silicone Cord Lock Toggles - Ideal for Drawstrings, Mask Making Supplies - Elastic String for Masks (Set of 5 Colors) by Tara Ford

Whoever came up with this is a genius! I've made several hundred masks during the pandemic and I've always been afraid of the elastic part. Measured, cut and made sure to stay in place while sewing. These babies rock! Just flew in for the first time this weekend and had to wear a 2-1/2 mask non-stop and it didn't bother my super sensitive ears. Not only are they adjustable and a good length, but they are also comfortable on the ears. I definitely use a lot more black and white, but the addition of color was a welcome change, especially for some of the fabrics I use. Highly recommended! **TIP** I mostly use the 3D template (everyone's favorite) and sometimes others. I use a glue stick I bought at a quilting store and make a loop about 1/4 inch from each end and press it against the fabric so it will stay in place as I sew. This method works like a charm to keep it in place. Especially good if you're working on an assembly line.
