The gusset is designed to give extra "give" in a garment that fits too tight. To do this, open the seam where you need to have extra room. A gusset is a piece of material that is shaped like a double triangle (or diamond) and is made from the same material as the pants. You cut a gusset from the fold of material as if you were making a long, pointed triangle. When you open the gusset, you have a wide section in the middle and four points. This gets pinned into the pants with the long points at the ends of the seam that you have opened, and the "fat" part gets pinned at the other two seams that no longer meet. Match edges, baste into place and try the alteration on. If it fits well, then sew the new seams together. If it doesn't fit well, trim the gusset carefully, repin and baste. Keep doing this until the correct fit happens, then sew the gusset into place.
