Selecting baby elastic for sensitive textile products
Baby elastic is useful where low bulk and controlled stretch are required. Its fine dimensions make channel width, edge behavior and sewing method particularly important.
Why should comfort be tested in the finished product?
Fine elastic concentrates force over a small area. Surface texture, elastic force and stitching should therefore be evaluated together in a realistic prototype.
