sewing lingerie without a serger



Do you think is possible to sew stretchy lingerie garments without a
serger but only zig zag?
What kind of seams and methods are better in sewing sheer/ mesh that
also have stretch? I stabilze with paper on the back but when is
removed and stretched the stitch tend to look like a chain not a zig
zag anymore, but a little snake formed with the 2 threads. And the
stretch is dead.
Yes, I think the era of zig zag sewing machines was for woven
fabrics...:-P
