Nancy, Most of the sewing for the bras require a zigzag or a three step zigzag to hold the pieces together. I didn't know what a three step zigzag was so of course that lead to another google search. Professional and some modern machines have this capability to make a three step zigzag.

The Two Spools might be used to sew around the pieces like for example outside and inside upper cup. The directions state to use 1/4" seams allowance and then trim close to stitches. I'm now thinking that the foot on the Singer 201 or even my FW would be the right foot to use and then no trimming would be needed.

I don't think the Necchi Supernova can do a three step zigzag, so I'm going to have to use just the zigzag or there is a decorative stitch that looks very close to the three step zigzag. There are numerous decorative stitches that look like I could use too. So, most of the sewing will be done with the Necchi.
