Step 5Creating the elastic band loop
Overlap the ends of the elastic band by 5/8" and pin.
Straight stitch along one edge and pivot by dropping the needle in the elastic, releasing the presser foot, rotating the fabric, and replacing the presser foot.
Straight stitch along the next edge and repeat until a square is made.
When you have returned to the start position, pivot 45 degrees to make a diagonal.
Pivot again and stitch over the bottom half of the square.
Pivot 45 degrees to make another diagonal and complete the X.

If you are using a small width elastic band (e.g., 1/4"), a few zigzagging straight stitches should be adequate.
