Does anyone have a good source for fine elastic thread like you see in some of the ready made garments. It’s used primarily to give texture and design to the fabric.
Thanks,
Linda

Is this what you mean? http://stores.ebay.com/Kathys-Lace-and-Elastic-Outlet_W0QQfrsrcZ1QQfsubZ7QQtZkm
Interesting website but no that's not what I'm looking for. It's a very fine elastic thread that is put in the bobbin and gathers up the fabic as you sew. It is much finer than what I have been able to find in the local fabric stores.

OK, try this and let me know if it's the kind of thing you are after

I've used this one too, and it works great. Good suggestion.
Thanks, I'll send for some today and see if it's what I'm looking for.

You can also get the Gutterman elastic thread at most Joann's stores.
Thanks, I appreciate the response but I've called two in my area and they say they don't carry it! I did manage to find it at a great store in Minneapolis on my latst trip there!
