Overview
Elastic Threader 3 pcs Tailor's Tweezers with Sliding Ring 8 cm Stainless Steel Silver For threading elastics, cords and laces

The elastic threader in the form of tailor's tweezers makes it easy to thread elastic, cord or lace through the tunnel in clothing waistbands. The package contains three identical pieces made of stainless steel, so you can keep one by your sewing machine, another in your sewing basket, and a third perhaps at your holiday home. The tweezers are 8 cm long and, thanks to their slim shape, can pass through even narrower openings in joggers, pyjamas or skirts. The ends of the jaws are slightly curved and grip the edge of the elastic well. It is easy to use even for those who are just starting out with sewing.

The main feature is the sliding ring, which pulls the jaws of the tweezers together and keeps them closed. First, slide the ring back to the loop, insert the end of the elastic or cord between the open jaws, and then slide the ring back to the front. This secures the end of the elastic, allowing you to gradually move the tweezers through the tunnel without having to hold it in place with your fingers over the fabric. The open jaws have a width of 2.4 cm, making them suitable for standard waist elastics and flat laces.

  • Type – tailor's tweezers for threading elastics and cords
  • Material – stainless steel
  • Colour – silver
  • Length – 8 cm
  • Width of open jaws – 2.4 cm
  • Securing – sliding ring that pulls the jaws together
  • Usage – elastics in trouser and skirt waistbands, cords in joggers and hoods, drawstring bags
  • Contents of package – 3 identical elastic threaders

The threader is useful when sewing new clothing as well as during repairs when it is necessary to replace a loose elastic in the waistband of joggers, pyjamas or children's trousers. It is equally effective for threading a cord into the hood of a hoodie, into the waistband of sports shorts, or into a drawstring bag for toys or shoes. The process is always the same: grip the end of the elastic in the jaws, secure it with the ring, insert the tweezers into the opening in the tunnel, and slowly push the fabric over it until the tweezers emerge on the other side. After use, simply wipe the threader with a dry cloth and store it with your other sewing tools. The smooth metal surface glides well over the fabric. The threader is also useful when sewing headbands, aprons or children's skirts, where elastic or ribbon needs to be threaded through a narrow hem, which would be difficult to do by hand.

This set of three tailor's tweezers is a practical addition to your home sewing supplies. The threader with a sliding ring holds the end of the elastic in the jaws, making threading more comfortable than with a safety pin. Its small size fits into any box with needles and threads. With 3 pieces in the package, you will always have a threader on hand wherever you need it, and you can give one to someone who also enjoys sewing.
