GROWTH AND SHRINKAGE TUCKS
Tucks are frequently put into curtains, linings, and
children's clothes to allow for the child's growth or
fabric shrinkage. “Letting down" is no longer a chore
when tucks are chainstitched. Simply unlock the last
loop of the chain formed on the underside of the tuck
and pull out the stitching.
Growth and Shrinkage Tucks
Stay chains (sometimes called French tacks) and belt
loops, normally time-consuming hand-worked detail
finishes, can now be quickly chainstitched. To pro
duce a chain, place the first stitch in the fabric. Stitch
off fabric and continue stitching until a sufficient
length of chain is produced. Thread chain through an
embroidery or darning needle and tack to garment or
lining. A No. 12 stitch length setting is recommended.
