Abstract

A pair of aligned stocking materials having hip portions are severed a prescribed distance, and a pair of template assemblies spread the stockings until the severed edges of each of the stocking materials define generally straight lines. A gusset is positioned adjacent the stretched severed edges and seamed sequentially along the edges of each of the pair of stocking materials by sewing machines to form a panty hose garment.
