Do you still believe you need an industrial overlock machine to start making and selling high-quality lingerie? In this practical video, I break this big myth and show you the complete step-by-step process to make a basic, comfortable, and highly profitable cotton panty using only the straight and zigzag stitch machines you already have at home.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Is it mandatory to have an overlock machine to sew cotton panties?
A: No! You can assemble and finish the entire piece with professional quality using only the straight stitch and zigzag stitch of a common domestic sewing machine.
Q: Do I need to leave seam allowance on the patterns when using a domestic machine?
A: Yes. To compensate for the lack of an overlock stitch and maintain the original size and perfect measurements of the panties, it is essential to leave a small seam allowance when cutting.
Q: What stitch replaces the "three-point" stitch on a regular sewing machine for applying elastic?
A: If your machine does not have a three-point stitch function, you can adjust the conventional zigzag stitch to medium size (3.5) and apply and topstitch perfectly.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:
Positioning and Cutting: Place the pattern on the cotton fabric (or fine cotton) strictly respecting the grain direction. Trace and cut, leaving a safety margin for the regular sewing machine.
Inset Seam: Join the bottom (lining) to the front piece (right sides together) and then wrap the back to create a fully enclosed and comfortable seam.
Applying the Spring Elastic: Adjust the zigzag stitch to size 3.5. Position the elastic's serrated edge upwards on the fabric edge and begin sewing along the legs.
Correct Tension: Use the technique of measuring 10 centimeters of fabric and pulling only 2 centimeters of elastic to ensure the ideal gather without tightening or distorting the piece.
Facing and Closing: Turn the elastic inside out and sew a new seam close to the inner edge. Then, close the sides with a straight stitch and use a tight zigzag stitch at the ends to secure them (simulating an industrial bar tack).
