Elastic stretches, but the stitch from fabric onto elastic doesn't.

One question though- I have a vintage sewing machine that only does straight stitching, am I out of luck then since I can't do a zigzag stitch onto the elastic? I've heard it's really a bad idea to do straight stitching on stretching material and elastic bands because the straight stitch will break.Panghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151468769632762997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-80542795946812925922011-04-27T11:11:39.522-04:002011-04-27T11:11:39.522-04:00Brilliant!
