Stuck on understitching

Hi all,

I love the badminton skort, but something has me flustered. I am at the part where the waistband, skirt, and shorts are just sewn together. The instructions say to flip the shorts inside out and then understitch the shorts on the shorts side, catching the seam.

First of all, I don't think I chose the right finish for the seam that is supposed to be 'caught,' (the seam of all three parts together). I did a 'Hong Kong' style finish with a 1-inch bias tape, creating a 1/4 inch 'flap.' Now I'm trying to figure out where the understitching goes--am I stitching on the yoke or the skirt?

If anyone can give me a rundown of the layers I should be sewing through that would be a big help I think. Also, what finish did you use for that seam (I don't have a serger yet)?


Thanks!
