Stitches of personal choice

Pin tucks

Exchange the ordinary needle for a twin needle and be

sure that it is pushed all the way up into the needle
clamp.

Change to presser foot F. If you wish to use fine

cording, fit the plate 411 39 25-01 with its straight edge
toward you, inserting the cord at the same time. Place a
reel of thread on each of the spool pins and let one of the
threads go on the outside and the other one on the inside
of the thread guide on the needle clamp. Otherwise
thread as usual with one thread in each of the needles.

Now set the machine for straight stitching. The height

of the pin tuck can be adjusted by means of the thread
tension—the tighter the thread tension, the more pro­
nounced the seam will be.

If you are using fine cording, first pull it out well

behind the presser foot and then it will only be necessary
to see that it runs freely while you are sewing.

Parallel pin tucks

If you wish to sew several parallel seams, you can use

the grooves on the bottom of the presser foot as edge
guides. Place the previously sewn seam to the left or to
the right of the one you are about to sew and let the
presser foot guide the work.

Gathering

Gathering with straight stitch is the most common

method. The best results are obtained if stitch length
3—3.5 is used and the upper thread tension set at 3. Sew
two close rows of gathering threads and pull both lower
threads simultaneously.
