When you're sewing elastic in, stretching it from one direction isn't a good idea because it can pull the needle forward onto the plate and it'll break or bend the needle. Instead, stretch it either side of the needle and move along with the machine.

Great instructable though, will definitely be trying it out.

Looks really cool! I remember in my class not to long ago (Sewing/ Cooking class) that we learned the ruffle method. Nice job!

Neat!
Looks very StarTrek to me. Add some of indymogul's facial prosthetics for maximum effect. ;)
