So instead of using the 1/4" elastic right now I'm using up these round elastics. I looked at Etsy for some more but it was very expensive. I found a good price and delivery for next week at Amazon. But I had to dig a little to find them.

I pull them through the seam binding on the sides with a tube turner, tie a double knot and pull the knot to the inside.

Thanks for this flat elastic comfort work around. I still have that elastic and won't hesitate to use it as soon as I use up the 2mm stuff. There's plenty of yarn around here and too many buttons. It's always so nice to have a reason to use up some buttons!
