As far as I'm aware yes - I don't see how you could have elastics if there are no hooks to attach them to. I think they put these little hooks on when it's time to have elastics. Is this what you meant?

Agreed!!!!!


But to answer the question, they put loops on there to attach the elastics to when it's time.

Next time please post an actual subject-I think you'll find that you get a lot more replies that way

I changed the topic of your post.

I'd appreciate if you don't do that again. It's "bad netiquette." Thanks.
