gWhile pulling the elastic tape so that it is about the same length as the fabric, pull the fabric at the pin nearest the front of the presser foot with your right hand, and feed the fabric behind the presser foot with your left hand according to the feeding speed.

This is easy to do if the foot controller is used.
