Having adjusted the scales for tuck and space as desired, fold the material and crease by
hand; pass the folded edge between the spring and spur near you, then between the two
blades of the second scale, and back under the presser foot; draw to the right against the
guide, lower the presser bar; see that the lever for the needle clamp to strike is in its back-
ward position so as to form a crease for the next tuck, then proceed with the first tuck.
For the second tuck, fold carefully at the crease made by the spur and place the edge of the
first tuck underneath and against the spur at the left. The spur will serve as a guide and will
also make a distinct crease for the next tuck. Always place the last tuck against the spur to
ensure perfect work.
When making the last tuck, the lever upon which the needle clamp strikes while tucking
should be raised to its highest point; while the lever is in this position no crease for a
succeeding tuck is made upon the goods.
