When I serge elastic to bodysuit necklines, armholes and leg openings, every time I let go of the elastic (to line up the fabric, remove pins, etc.) the threads all bunch together. Underneath the bunching, on the bottom side of the fabric, I get little loops of thread. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? I don't like the look of it, especially since I am selling these suits to the kids at the local gymnastics club. The elastic stays on and all, but the loopy threads look messy. I've tried loosening the tension, tightening the tension, but there's been no change. Any suggestions?
