I've been sewing for some time now but elastic and any knit fabric has always made me very nervous. Thank you for showing me in a super simplistic, easy ti follow and understand way. On to those knickers ive always wanted to sew!
My problem is that, with sweat, zig-zag stitched elastic against the skin turns into sandpaper. Same with serged seams. I use strips of 4 way stretch, wicking, high-tech jersey fabric for my elastic and a single yard of high-end fabric will last a very long time. It's firmly stretchy with excellent memory, soft, wicking, fast drying and doesn't irritate at all. I'm making my own because I wear store-bought underwear inside out to avoid the irritation. I also wash by hand and put 10ppm colloidal silver in my last rinse so that if there is any irritation, there won't be any bacteria.
Simple and clear instructions. Thank you once again.

You're so welcome!
My machine has a built in walking foot that I can disengage. Do you think it’s better to leave it engaged or not engaged. Thanks.
Do some tests to see which foot you prefer!
I would like to sew Picot elastic to a V neck nightie, do you know how to apply it to a V neck.
You can apply it like on a round neckline and then sew a little triangle at the center front to create the V.
