What if one doesnt have a triple stitch... my machine is very very simple lol.
Also how would one do the boxer elastic not the encased on this? Could you serge it on? I know I read something about it above but wasnt clear.

I sewed the boxer elastic together to form a circle... then I lined up that elastic to lie on top of the inside edge of the top of the boxers. I held the boxer briefs and the elastic so that both were stretched a bit. Then I serged it such that the elastic was just to the left of the knife and the serger wouldn't actually cut the elastic. When I had gone all around the waist, I flipped the waistband down and then did a zigzag topstitch to hold it in place.
HTH!
