PIN TUCKS
Narrow tucks, sewn with thread that matches the fabric,
produce subtle decoration on plain fabrics. Using the twiri
n^le, sew straight lines on the fabric guiding the edge of
the prefer foot along each successive tuck to make
parallel rows. Soft fabrics will be pulled to form a soft
crea^. To achieve a tuck on a fabric, increase the lower
tendon slightly. Heavier fabrics will produce two lines of
straight stitching. Attractive pin tucks are made with the
multiple stitch zigzag as well as with a straight stitch.
Note:
Transparent tape makes straight fines easy to sew.
Just sew with the presser foot guiding a/ong the
edge of the tape. When sewing is completed ped
off tape.

FREE-ARM SEWING
For sewing tubular and hard-to-reach areas, use your
machine as a free-arm. Stitching buttonholes or sewing
bunons on a cuff or neckband; topstitching a sleeve; edge
finish^ on sleeves, pantlegs and waistlines; darning and
patching knees, elbows; and other areas of wear on
children's clothing become as easy as sewing a common
seam when you have the free-arm at your fingertips. Il­
lustrations show some examples of sewing wth the free­
arm.
