It depends. Is is elastic in a pocket or sewed directly onto the sheet? I’ve done both, rethreading the first type with a safety pin took a while, but the overlocker does a reasonable job on the second.
yes I have , they scare me lol My mum used all these weird feet for things like shirring and ruffling, I just use plain feet and use tailoring methods to do the same thing

It’s direct and I don’t have an over locker.
using zigzag stitch does the same job . It’s tricky to do tho. You need to stretch the elastic while you sew it to the fabric base
I have a gizmo for that but have never tried it. And a super complicated pleater foot that scares me
I used to do it with just a plain foot and stretch the elastic by hand while sewing it on
Ever met this beastie?

I found a manual for it but am still scared. You can’t unpick those results.
He’s an interesting little fella.
You could just zig zag over the existing elastic.
