Mandala Crafts 3/8 Inch Lightweight Clear Elastic for Sewing – 33 YDs Invisible Transparent Clear Elastic Straps Band for Bra Lingerie Swimwear Garments

I stretched an 8' piece to 11" repeatedly and each time it still returned to 8" each time. Totally clear, not cloudy. Not a true "elastic" but the best I've found and it'll do the job I use it for. I think it were thinner it'd stretch more but then it probably wouldn't have the ability to return properly which is more important to me.

It's too complicated to explain what I'm using this for, but needless to say I needed about 100+ yards to fix 200 uniforms within three days! Ordered three different brands, by three different sellers to make sure that I got them in two days (live 40 miles outside a Metro Area). They all arrived the same day, so I had three different rolls of 33 to 38 yards each. Each one had a slightly different texture, from glossy to matte. This one is more glossy, but has an ever so slight grip to it. Since every body is different, if one style didn't work, I opted for the other style (texture) and this saved the Marching Band! Has enough grip and durability to not rip off when stretched and worn. After we sewed a few, and knew they wouldn't tear away, we knew this would work for all band members, they just needed to be individually fitted custom. The band looks great and they won the Grand Championship, so I guess this was a win for the Clear Elastic too!

For the price it works. But it was twisted on the spool which makes it a tad harder to work with. I managed to get the work done but I’m also just not great at working with clear elastic. If you need elastic that’s super stiff this is for you.

LOVE! Exactly what I’ve been looking for and needing! By far the best option for “invisible” straps… very durable and strong but also very luxurious and delicate at the same time and is truly clear with a lovely finish. Highly recommend!

The elastic is fine for sewing or indoor use, but I used it outside and it yellowed within a few days.

Elastic is just right for lots of different types of craft projects. Stretches well, easy to sew down and clear so great to use where regular elastic isn’t.

I ordered this thinking it will be great for a few projects I have. I have just spent the last 2 hours trying to use this elastic on my Babylock. Every time, my machine creates a giant nest because of this elastic. It is stiff with little stretch which defeats the purpose. Look elsewhere for your elastic. This stuff is junk. And before people ask, yes I tried my machine without the elastic, no issues.

This clear elastic is amazing! Needed to keep the sleeves from sliding down my great-granddaughter's arms and added this elastic over the shoulders on both sides. Now she can wear her pretty dress with no worries!
