Pin Tucks
1 Select straight stitch. 2 Use correct presser foot.
A type of fabric decoration.
Commonly used in French
sewing.
Traditionally, pin tucks are
formed by stitching very
near a folded edge, as
shown in steps 1 through 5.
You can also sew pin tucks
with a twin needle.
Twin needle tucks are
always even as they are
formed by two parallel needles.
Decreasing top thread supply
(increasing tension) will result
in a more pronounced pin tuck.
Make folds on material for
pin tuck using an iron so
that they are neatly
finished.
Sew folds taking care not
to stretch them.
A blindstitch presser foot
guide will help finish the
folds more beautifully.
