X. THE SEWING OF VERY NARROW AIR
TUCKS WITH THE SINGLE NEEDLE
CLAMP
SINGER Special Air Tuck Needles
(Fig 72)
Every SINGER Shop has available the
two special air tucking needles SD 6025
and SD 6026, the shanks of which are so
constructed that they will fit together next
to each other into the single needle clamp
as shown in Fig. 72. When inserting these
two needles be careful that the long
groove of both needles is towards the front
and the long flat side of the needle shanks
are lying together in the middle. With the
help of both of these special needles it
is possible to sew very narrow air tucks
without referring to the instructions on
air tucking as described in the previous
chapter. An adjustment to various widths
is, of course, not possible with these
needles.

These narrow air tucks are used
for fine silk goods, georgette, voile
and similar goods, as well as for
the sewing of ridges on the backs
of gloves. Needle size No. 9 or
No. 11 and embroidery cotton No.
50 are used. The tensions remain
approximately the same as for nor
mal sewing. It is suggested that
the upper tension is made some
what tighter. The threading of both
needles follows the same as descri
bed on pages 67 and 58.
