I recently made a swimsuit, tank style, and the pattern called for inserting the elastic through a casing. Now wanting it to look too home-made, I stitched it on with my serger and turned it to the inside. But it was way too big even though I used the elastic measurements on the pattern. Now I'd like to make another, but wonder if I should try the serger application again, and if there are suggested ratios of elastic to garment.
Thank much,
