Sewing underarm gussets on machine is a real pain. That you never (OK, almost never) get them straight isn't such a problem when you sew them by hand because then you have so much more control, but on machine, whew!
I only had to redo one of the gusset twice, but still, it was very frustrating.
The gusset is on my victorian blouse that I started on 1 1/2 hours ago. I haven't finished it because a) I don't have any interfacing for the cuffs and collar and the fabric is very thin and b) I really should try to learn my "speeches" for tonight's Imbolc-ritual by heart and prepare my living room for said ritual.
Yesterday I had more time to sew than I thought since my mother stayed and played a lot with Maja. So now I have made 3/4 of the hand sewn boning channels on my Dorothea Sabina von Neuburg-corset.

I've stopped trying to sew gussets and gores on the machine. Too much hassle!

I very much agree. I prefer to do it by hand, because you're in total control all the way. I never seem to get it right with sewing machines.
