Skothing, I worked at a fabric store called Stretch and Sew Fabrics 30 years ago for many years. I taught sewing on stretch fabrics. Beautiful, beautiful fabrics. One of the classes I did was lingerie. We used lovely tricot. You could use single knit fabric also. It is interesting on how you make the crotch all in one piece and slip the panties through. You would have to see a picture to understand. If you use tricot, one yard will make mucho pairs of panties. Use really good quality elastic. It is just zig-zagged on using 3:4 ratio. I made slips, nightgowns, etc and loved it. It really helped having a Bernina cause it sewed on that fine fabric without any skipped stitches. Also, use a 60 needle. It makes a whole lot of difference. Hope this helps.
