Excellent quality elastic. I got it to replace the stretched out elastic on a couple of cycling headscarves. I wanted something sturdy but not overly stiff, hard or scratchy. This elastic fits my needs perfectly, and is very easy to work with and machine sew. For @$5.00, I was able to extend the wearable life of two headscarves that would have cost $25 each to replace. And I have loads of elastic left for other projects or repairs. No need to spend more on the name brand (and get fewer yards). This stuff is terrific. ???
