typo -- that's a "snug" casing

These are also great for threading through a anug casing at the edge of a bell sleeve or hem for a fluted edge on heavier fabrics, especially for the stage. (This is a more dramatic version of serging a narrow hem over fishing line on tulle and such.) Just slide cable ties into the casing end to end. You can close the casing with a tack stitch or a safety pin and remove the ties to clean or store the garment.
