All good questions! The elastic notion purchased at a fabric store is generally not the same. You are correct, that elastic is covered in cord. The elastic used for jewelry is clear and thicker. It is knotted at the end in a figure 8 knot which prevents the knot from slipping and breaking and sometimes a spot of glue. I've never seen elastic knotted between the beads before. Make it as loose as you like. I like my bracelets floppy too.
