Why? The tutorial is great, even though I had to look elsewhere for instructions on threading elastic on a drop-in bobbin (totally different!). The issue was it thoroughly screwed up my bobbin tension. I did one skirt, and it worked out well - I'm still wearing it! - but my bobbin has never been the same. Maybe more advanced sewers can do this without worry, or people who can get their hands on two machines, but I wasn't able to readjust my bobbin tension to the perfect place so it wasn't worth it for me. NOT WORTH IT :(
