While attending the 2012 American Sewing Expo, Threads caught up with sewing expert and fashion designer Angela Wolf. In this video tutorial, Angela shows you how to add a nonstretch waistband to your favorite pair of jeans. This simple and quick method uses cotton twill tape to prevent your waistband from becoming loose fitting.

I am not familiar with the product "cotton tulle tape" Angela Wolf refers to in her video about non stretch waistbands. Is it known by other names?
I believe Angela said "twill tape," sometimes known as stay tape.
Great tip, now I know how to fix a pair of stretch twill jeans that keep falling down, despite my best efforts re: adding elastic!
Although, I think we should point out to the producers that t
the product Angela uses is 'twill tape', not 'tulle tape'!

I also, believe she is saying twill tape. Nice tip!
My apologies. The typo has been fixed.
