If/when I have to do these pants again, I did learn a few things that I will do a bit differently. Each panel gets three lines of stitching that run around the entire perimeter. I chose to use the middle line of stitch to be the one that attached the top panel to the bottom panel, and then the bottom panel to the pant legs.
This caused the corners to seem “floppy” so I had to go in and manually stitch down each corner.
I’m thinking it would have been a better idea to have used the outer stitch, that runs right along the edge of each panel, as the stitch to attach the panels together, and to the pant legs. This would eliminate the floppy corner issue, and would give an all around better look.
