I used Kwik Sew 3300 for the bra, Merckwaerdigh MIX30 for the undies and a notion and fabric kit from Merckwaerdigh as well. See more here on my blog Kathy Sews.

if you do your part and lycra stitching together, and you put it open, the lycra comes under your side of the lace stitch it with a zigzag stitch (2/2) and your closing is on the other side but it’s well done :))

Thanks! Sorry…. there must be something lost in translation here… not sure what you are explaining. Perhaps you’re saying the lace is sewn incorrectly to the fabric on the front? If I were to sew the two raw edges on the inside towards the lace it would show through on the front. Perhaps you intended to communicate something else?

yes on the front, so it isn’t so thick, and it wil feel better,
sorry for my bad english ;)

I really like feedback! (And your English is a thousand times better then anything I could do with your native language!!) It always helps make my work better each time! I think I see what you are saying… fold the lace towards the lace… fold the lycra towards the lycra… then top stitch each. I see what you mean. I will do this next time. Thank you!

you fold not open, all your lycra has to be under the lace, here is a good blog with lots of information: poetsie.blogspot.com (it’s in dutch) and this blog: http://simoneannemone.blogspot.nl/p/mijn-tutorials.html
