English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewing Notions
CONT

Woven elastics are usually softer; woven construction enables them to maintain their original width when stretched. Wovens curl less than braided elastics, and so can easily be stitched to a garment.

  • Articles et accessoires de couture
CONT

Les élastiques tissés sont plus souples et conservent leur forme quand on les étire. Ils roulent moins que les élastiques tressés et se cousent plus facilement sur les vêtements.
